Well, I'm driving it acts like it's running out of gas. Change the fuel filter, did a tune-up and it's still doing the same.

Hi,

If it is running like it is running out of gas, it may actually be doing that because the fuel pump is failing.

We need to test the fuel pressure when this is happening to determine if this is the case. Even if the pressure is okay it could still be a fuel issue but we need to test the pump because that is the most likely cause.

Let me know what you find and we can go from there. Thanks
