Just had a major tune up (fuel filter, air filter, spark plugs, wires all replaced) and now it just cranks. I put gas in it the other day and on the way home it was stuttering and losing power then a seccond later when i romp on the gas to keep it from dying it zooms away and it happens 4 or 5 seconds later. please help me I have no idea whats wrong. I thought it might be the fuel pump but i didn't know. I have kept up with the usual repairs and paid a lot of money to get the tune up. please tell me if they should have fixed the problem.

All I can say from here is take it back and find out what is going on.
