Default help!!!!!

im still at work right now because i cant figure out how to get my car to stay on. It will start just fine and i can put gas to it but when i take my foot off the gas it dies and shuts off. I was thinking something with the fuel line? maybe i need to reset it?

yea it sounds normal. but i finally got it to start. i just kept switching from off to on a couple times to pump fuel to the engine then it started. then i drove to the gas station and filled all the way up. its driving and starting fine now. i guess my fuel gauge is off? it said i had a quarter tank left but i guess i was running empty.

Thats what it sounds like to me...exact same symptoms as when mine went bad....very easy to check and replace.
