ARGGG I'm soo pissed.. NOT GETTIN FUEL

I'm drivin down main street today (smaller town) and The car sputtered a little like the injectors (TBI) were plugged so I put the pedal to the metal and got the into the parking lot of aChevy dealership. I got a mechanic and he confirmed that it was gettin ful (DUH) I think the is a check engine light on. There is gas in the tank what the hell is the problem with my car??? In the last couple of months I put a new fuel filter in, 2 starters, and a sh*tload more into it now it takes a dump on me. The people @ the dealership said they couldn't even touch it for 4-5 days. That sucks I have to way to get to work. Any suggestions on what the problem could be and how <u>I</u> can fix it.

PS if you know anybody that wants to buy a 91 RS my e-mail is claisauctions@hotmail.com.

What next?

yea the dealer whould charge lots more. Thats the only place that I could find while the damn thing was dieing.

We just got back from trying to go get it. I was able to start it and get it home. It shakes like a mother. Feels like i'm in a top fuel car. I kept it in 1st and 2nd to keep the RPM up. The car wouldn't idle by itself. But when I got back home, maybe 1.5 miles, it sat in the driveway and poorly idled for 5 mins. It would stay at 700 to 800 RPMS and drop real low 300 RPMS then it would come back up. I thought maybe I got a bunch of bad fuel so I took the van to the auto parts store and got some Sta-Bil gas stabilizer. I came home poored it into the tank and the stupid car wouldn't even start. I'm baffled. It's still for sale.

Your fuel pump is out sir. It needs to be replaced. Drop the tank, replace it. You have to drop the exhaust. I had the exact thing happen to me. You have to punch it just to keep the Rs up. This is a $300 job at your mechanics. Good luck.
