When I'm driving car it just dies and I have to restart it.
No matter how much gas I give it , it won't go over 15 mile an hour, but sometimes it just picks up again and maintains steady speed. I changed the fuel filter and it ran fine for 2 days and now it's acting up again. It seems to be getting worse now and I have to pump the gas pedal to maintain 15 mph, but it has been driven for a couple days with no problems. Any suggestions?

Hi there,

start with checking the fuel pressure, you may be starving for fuel.
