Has the check engine light come on? Have you checked for vacuum leaks?

Let me know.

You may want to start checking for vacuum leaks. Also, do you know how to check for fuel pressure? If so do it. If you don't, let me know and I give you directions.

If there was no fluid in it, it may have been binding.
