Mine ran fine the first day i had it. The next morning it started fine but didnt want to stay running. This was last year when i didnt even know how to change oil. The problem didnt go away and i started replacing all kinds of stuff i didnt need to. Then 3 months later suddenly it just stopped running. So I started thinking and checked...no fuel. So I went through the task of changing the fuel pump with no car knowledge. walla ran perfect after that. Just hang in there man. Hell if my car never broke I still wouldnt know anything about cars and it probably wouldnt have any mods.

Just ride it out dude.....
Remember , "that which does not kill us , makes us stronger!"
I too have, on occasion, had one problem after another.Don't get discouraged.Just keep plugging away at it and it'll work out.
When it is running good and you're driving it, it'll all be worth it.
