I'M HAVING PROBLEMS KEEPING THE CAR RUNNING IT SOUNDS LIKE IS STARVING FOR GAS, AS YOU COME TO A STOP IT WILL STOP RUNNING, WHEN YOU TAKE THE FOOT OF THE GAS, WHEN RE -STARTING YOU HAVE TO QUICKLY PUT YOUR FOOT ON CLUTCH AND PUT IN FIRST GEAR AND QUICKLY HIT THE GAS BEFORE IT STOPS AGAIN, IT STARED TO HAPPEN AFTER BELOW A 1/4 OF GAS REFILLED.IS THERE ANYTHING THAT WE CAN DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM.
THANK YOU

Jimmy let's start with the basics and check fuel delivery and pressure at the fuel injector side of the fuel rail. It is possible the pump has been overheated and may require replacement. And Jimmy, take the caps lock off mate. ♥
