The car is very quiet and ran very smooth for about 2 days after buying it but on the 3rd day I didnt fuel to full. After I start the car it atiles so slow that when I shift into gear and press the accelerator it kills.
(fuel is past the 1/2 way marker) What could be the problem?

First thing I would do is get the computer (OB2) scanned. This will make it easier to help in the diagnosis. Most auto part stores will do this for free. When you get the codes, write them down and let me know what they are. There are many problems that could create this symptom and without speculating for hours let's try this out first and I'll be happy to help you out in finding the problem.

Thanks, look forward to your reply
