Engine Mechanical problem
1999 Chevy Malibu 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 105000 miles
I had a new head put on my car last year (FYI)
My gas gauge has not worked for over a year so I am always estimating my gas in the tank. Subsequently, I believe I ran the fuel very low, possible getting some sediment in the lines???? It drove fine and I parked the car to gas in the morning. When I tried to start the next day, it turns over fine and even starts, but flutters out within seconds. I put a gallon of gas in the tank and it still doesn't start, but turns over great. I replaced the fuse for the fuel pump under the hood, but didn't help. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks |
