Okay my aspire was running fine then it sputtered and died. It is cranking good. I disconnected fuel line from filter and It is definitely shooting fuel out. I changed all spark plug, wires,etc and they are sparking blue. Weird thing my father pushed me with his car, and it will start up and run as long as he is pushing, but as soon as he stops, it dies. When it is running, it seems awfully bogged down so I cannot accelerate, I really need some help from anyone please?

Have you checked the timing belt? It sounds like it may have jumped time?

Let me know.

it turned out to be the distributor cap....which I replaced and it started right up....but a few months later the whole distributor went out.It would have cost about $800 for the part so I just sold the car for parts.Thanks though for the concern.

Wow! I miss the old days. One could have gotten a distributor for 25 bucks. Those days are gone.

Regardless, let us know if you have questions in the future, and thanks for using 2carpros.com.
