k so here's the story: I was chillin in a parking lot choppin it up with my girl, and then we decided to go, so I turned my car on and drove. I decided to give it some gas and then is when I noticed it. When I gave it gas, it felt like there was no throttle. I switched gears and it got worse, anything more then a lite push of the accelerated and my car would feel like it was drowning - No acceleration what so ever. I managed to drive it home. I jumped on the freeway and pretty much anything faster then 65MPH my car would "boggle" I guess you would say or stutter. I got home turned it off. I tried to fire it up the next day and that was a no go. I managed to finally start it, drove it like 100 feet out of my driveway and that bitch died. Now it sits in the garage with no life. Wtf is wrong with this shit? I have spark to the wires and my coil is good. What could it be. Thanks in advanced!

You have a clogged fuel filter.

sounds like it....you should crawl under the rear by the fuel filter and see if the line is loose. Does it smell of gas?? Same thing happend to me...my fuel line came off the filter

is your check engine light on, if it is check your diagnostics codes, if not, pull out your spark plugs and look to see if there is any coolant on top of your pistons (worse case scenario). clogged fuel filter or injectors?? bad fuel pump?? have you ever overheated your car?? bad fuel pressure regulator?? thats all i have time for now, hope it helps!
