On my way home from work my car started to output less and less power as I drove home. Eventually I was flooring the pedal and the car would only creep along with the engine running rather rough and then it just stalled out.
I managed to get it to an autozone to check the engine light which showed a failed evaporation sensor in my gas tank.
I thought I might have some bad gas and treated it for water in the tank. When that didn't help I drained the fuel completely and put in new gas.
My car will not even turn over now. When I try to start it I hear the cylinders fire a few times but then the car just cranks with nothing else happening. I can only get the cylinders to fire a few times if it is left alone for a long while before I try to start again. I feel like this is all caused by some kind of faulty sensor, but I don't know which one it might be.
