Hello,

Is your check or service engine light on?

When was the last time you changed the Fuel Filter?

Ok, try this first take your gas cap off and just place it on loosely. Drive the vehicle. If vehicle does fine with no problem replace gas cap.

If still having problem replace fuel filter and see what happens.

Also if you can the vehicle to your local auto parts store have them pull codes. Write the codes down and post them here.
