I placed some gas in my car and tried to crank it but it would not start. After about 5 tries it finally started but would not stay running. After finally getting it to go, it felt sluggish and had no pick-up. I was trying to go 35mph but it was stuck at about 10mph. It finally died out and the battery and oil indicator lights came on. Can you give me a solution?

Start by spraying some starting fluid in throttle body intake (remove intake tube and if you disconnect any sensors like MAF, you will have to get the code reset with scanner).
If car fires right up, then fuel issue, pump, filter.

You can also have fuel pressure tested with mechanical gauge, using test port on fuel rail.
