gas ?

[wycoco]

i was driving yesterday and all of a sudden, it felt like the car wasnt sucking any gas when i pressed the pedal down.. i pressed it a couple times and it was after the couple times, the car went back to normal.. the tank was full too, so any suggestions? thanks

did you make it home? did it just die on you then or did you make it to your destination? fuel pump? trace the lines, when was the last time the fuel filter was replaced? if your motor did not die, check your throttle linkage. it could be tons of stuff from your short description.

well in that case.. yeah, heh i made it home.. motor didnt die, it just felt like it was going to but it stayed up.. i kept pressin down the gas pedal all the way to the floor en it wouldnt budge, then maybe on the tenth press down, the gas went thru and the car ran normal again.. i was driving aggressively right before that , getting on and off the freeway.. thats when it started to happen.. happened twice on the way home.. oh and i use 91 octane so i dont think its cuz its cheap gas or somethin

Have you ever replaced your fuel filter or fuel pump?

Someone's gotta say it:
Bring your car to a reputable shop.

Getting on the freeway at speed can tend to move things around that are electrical in nature. Sure sounds like something that is intermittantly connected. I would check the connection to the battery. Both posts. I would also check the connection to the Alternator. Beyond that intermittant issues can be pretty tough to diagnose.

There are a few relays that may go bad for the fuel pump. They are under a black plastic removable cover and you may want to check those as well.
