Default more car problems yayyyyyyy

alright car isnt overheating nomore good. now we have more problems. while im driving tha beast it seems to cut the gas off and sputter and not drive when im on the gas. At first i thought it was the transmission but thats fine but i think its my fuel filter (my uncle said he put bad gas in it score 3 for him)

sounds like fuel pump or filter.

replace the filter (easy/cheap) and then test your fuel pressure to see if you need to replace the pump (hard/not cheap).

the filter is on the rail near the gas tank, driver's side.
when you take it off, gas will spill. its normal

Check the pressure. There is a schraeder valve on the rear of the fuel rail behind the intake manifold. It should be ~39-40 psi at idle.
