Help my Wagon just died on the freeway!

tuffytwochins · 08-25-2010, 05:09 AM

Ok Please my car is stuck in a parking lot right now. I have been having hesitation issues when taking off since I got the car. Chug Chug Chug then it would go. Never had a problem at speed even though you could feel the acceleration "kick in" sometimes. So today at about 60 mph the car starts decelerating and then accelarating in a cycle. I fanned the throttle and barely got off the freeway. The engine was bucking off the mounts with power on power off. It drove like it had 10 horsepower when it was hesitating. Now it wont even move out of the parking space. I checked the fuel and I had plenty of output at the filter. I really need help here. Anyone know of a sure fix? I have never thrown a code on my ecu or a check engine light. Please anyone

What have you done to the car in the past 24 hours (gas, repairs, ect)?

You say you checked to fuel output at the filter, meaning what? Did you merely pull the hose and see fuel coming out? Or did you get the actual pressure?
