sputtering??!!!
I ran my car low on gas.so low that it was sputtering.after i filled up it still ran like crap.I changed the fuel filter..didnt work.I think there is a fuel purge somewhere.ill try looking for that today.if there is no air in the system then could my fuel pump die from sputtering for an 1/8 mile?

Hook up a fuel gauge and find out where your pressure is at during idle, cruising, and WOT.

damn, I need to be careful w/ that then. I usually run all my car pretty damn low. My old turbo integra was the exception since I had to be careful w/ detonation.
I guess I'll follow the same rule w/ the T/A.

well today I ran my car pretty damn low. The gas station wasn't very far, but it just wouldn't get there. I had to go and buy 2 gallons of gas. I filled it and now it seems this ******* car doesn't want to turn on on the first firing. I'm thinking I fucked the fuel pump.

yeah i def. burnt up a fuel pump like the first day i got my car lol... didnt know that the gas gauge wasn't like dead on accurate... and i got on the backroads with like a quarter of a tank, which i know now means get to a gas station quickly... lol i was right across the street from a BP and it started sputtering and cutting out... so i pushed it into the auto zone parking lot and had to try to fill it up enough from a cleaned out gatorade bottle to get it over to the gas station... lol i kept running over and getting like 50 cents of gas at a time and had to make like 4 trips, but finally i got it to start... ill never run the car under a half a tank now though
but yeah after that incident i noticed the car wasn't running as strong as it used to, and on the coldest night of the winter i was takin a drunk buddy home and die right in front of the racetrack in speedway... needless to say that wasn't a fun night sitting out in shorts and a t shirt waiting on a tow back to my apartment...

yeah I was on my way to fedex, and I planned on going to the gas station right after. Then, traffic got in the way and I totally deviated from my planned route. So I forgot about getting gas. Then it was too late.
Also I just replaced my battery yesterday after I had to get a jump at school because the car wouldn't turn on. Battery seemed fucked up. I don't know. But, still it takes awhile for the car to turn on. Not like before.
Should I be worried about the pump quitting on me in the near future? Should I just replace it as soon as possible?
