My car is acting like it does not get gas and stalls out. My gauges go crazy and it does not start this right away. Miles down road. I changed fuel filter and put fuel gauges on. pressure okay I think. What is the problem?

Good afternoon.

What was the pressure?

The fact the gauges go nuts tells me you may have a voltage issue. Have you checked the battery? Make sure the cables are clean and tight and make sure you have 14 to 14.5 volts while it is running.

The fuel pressure should be 42-55 lbs.
