okay so a few days ago i was driving to work that night and as i was driving my car felt it was slow to take off but when it got to about 25 mph it would just take off and drive like normal. it also died 2 times as i was driving and i would have to pull over and restart it. did the same thing as you would take off as i mention earlier. well i made it work. so on my lunch break i go out to check it. i would start and it would run for less then 5 seconds. tried 10 times in a run and the same thing every time. so i had it towed to my house. once there it would start sometimes and run but if you give it and gas it would just die.then other time it would just die within 5 or 10 seconds. i know im geting spark and i know im geting fuel. i tried replaceing the pcv valve. it still doing the same thing.i dont have a bunch of money to replace a bunch of parts so i would like to narrow it down as much as possible. some are saying the erg valve or fuel pump. any ideas? thank you for you time.
