I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR A YEAR AND IT RAN GREAT, UNTIL ABOUT A WEEK AGO. NOW IT WON'T RUN AT ALL. I CHECK IT OUT AND IT SEEMS TO NOT BE GETTING ANY GAS. IT WILL START FOR A SECOND OR TWO BUT THEN IT DIES. I START IT AGAIN AND IT QUITS. I HAVE LOTS OF GAS. I WOULD CHECK THE GAS FILTERS BUT I DO NOT KNOW WHERE THEY ARE :(

THANKS
BOB

Every time I tried to start my engine, it starts then stops 3 seconds later. It has been running great for about a year now it starts this goofy action. I have not been burning bad gasoline. What's up with this little baby of mine. Any and every thing you can help me to cure my little green machine would more than likey be appreciated.

Your filter is located back by your tank, could be the problem. I would replace it first, reguardless.
But most likely it could be the Fuel pump in the fuel tank.

It is easy to replace if you have less that a quarter of a tank of fuel, if you have more than that it will be a little more difficult because of tank weight, but with a hydrolic jack under the tan, you can lower it down with out too many problems.
