Purchased jimmy used about 6,000 miles ago and it has always been a reliable starting car. but in last week it has started to take a bit of extra time to start by just a second or two till today as it has literally died several times as i have tried to get home an d acts like it has no power to go or completley stalls altogether. could you please help me? thank you.Gas gauge has always been off by half of its real level. water and oil are fine. New radiator, hoses, temp is great.New tune up, plugs wire cap.etc.

Check the fuel pressure with a gauge to rule out the fuel filter and fuel pump
