It started running really to rough and it would shut off at stoplights Then it lost power and barely go about 10 mph and I would put it in neutral and floor it to keep it running but sounded like it was misfiring and could not get the RPM's up.
Now it won't start. I have spark and fuel pressure. I did spray shot of starting fluid in to see what it would do and it fired but would not run. Help!

Good morning,

What is the fuel pressure? It sounds like a fuel delivery problem from low fuel pressure.
