So yesterday when I left work when taking off the car was extremely doggy, blowing clouds of smoke, and basically not running worth a **** unless I kept the RPMs up high. Got home, checked the air filter, it was a little dirty, not bad, but I took it out and took it for a test drive, drove a ton better, but threw a code on the way home.
This morning I go out to head to work and the car starts, then coughs and shuts off, try starting it again and getting up the RPMs it will start to climb then shut off again. Could not even get it to move more than about 5 feet or above 1200 RPM and it died again. Also noticed that on my way home last night and the one test drive, a total of 50 miles, I burned 1/4 tank of fuel. I had 400 Miles on the first half, now it has 450 and I only have 1/4 tank of fuel left.
I am picking up a fuel and air filter on my way home tonight, hoping that it will fix it. If anyone has any other suggestions please let me know, I am very limited on tools here though.
Car has 1299xx miles on it, I bought it at 89xxx on 4-28-11. Fuel filter was changed 14k ago, I change them every 20k, oil every 5k, its due for an oil change in 400 miles, so this weekend.
