Well yesturday I was coming back from my trip from kentucky to il so about 400 miles. Well I had to stop in some where in indiana at a rest stop. Well I get back into my car put the clutch in and the damn thing wouldnt do any thing I had power it wouldnt kick at all so my gf and I are like wtf? four random people helped me push it and I poped the clutch and away I went. Now I got her home.... Today I turn the car on the igniton goes, motor turns but it wont start. Well my dumb *** thinks I ran it out of gas so I got and put fuel in it screw with it one more time and she starts. So I think ok problem solved not..... Im leaving my friends house tonight does the same thing start it engine turns but she wont go, I wait a lil while and I try again and it works?!#! What the hell is going on some one please help me!!

That could be, but if that was the case why would the car turn over when the key is turned while the clutch is in? I dont think the car is getting fuel but I dont know what to do Im clueless when it comes to this crap
