sounds like you need a fuel filter or fuel pump or both
i can start the car, and it runs for a few meters, dies out like im giving it no gas. then it will not restart. after sitting about 10 minutes or so, it will start again and is drivable for a few more meters, then dies again to have the whole process rinse and repeat itself . it also makes a loud rattling noise like the valves are rattleing and then loses all horsepower then dies. once its started back up it sounds like the lifters are tapping, and just gets louder until the car dies again. it will not idle on its own.
Start the car, then pull the fuel pump relay and any fuses for the fuel pump. Run the car until it dies. Or, you can just pop off the gas cap.
what kind of car is it
If you give the car gas and it immediately dies but idles without giving the car gas, the VAF could be unplugged. If the car immediately dies without giving the car gas, it could have low fuel pressure, vaccum leaks, compression issues.
If the car turns over, gets gas and just will not start try the ignition module. CAR TURNS OVER
of course it is. it needs gas to move, to start, and to run
No it does not take a gallon of gass to start a car. To start a car it doesn't use any gas.
It could be the fuel pump.
If this car has a choke then it stuck in the open position.
water in the gas.
It will not start ???????
Alot of things.. bad gas.. No gas.. Engine is dead.. etc.
