1996 Toyota Corolla 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

I can start my car and get it running, but when I give it gas my car wont accelerate, it just sputters and dies. I changed the fuel filter, but that didnt help. I was told that maybe it could be a clogged fuel line? Or possibly he spark plugs? What could it be and how do I get my car running again so Im not stuck in one place all day long?

Start by checking fuel pressure with mechanical gauge. Low fuel pressure will cause symptoms you describe.
