Hi Everyone,
Just finally started driving around my 1998 this year, and ran into some issues. Car ran fine to my destination. We were there for a few hours. Left and stopped at next destination, and was only there for about 15 minutes. Turned the car, car sputtered, very low, wobbly, RPM, pushed the gas pedal all the way down, didn't make any change, car stalled. Tried restarting, just got the starter trying to crank the motor. I had another family member nearby, so we hopped in with them to finish up what we were doing thinking maybe the heat yesterday was affecting the car. Went to go try it again a few hours later and it would crank and crank, but never actually started.
Any ideas what could have caused this? The car has 88,000 miles on it. Doesn't look like it's throwing any codes, it just doesn't want to start. Any ideas what to focus on first? Ignition? PATS System (as far as I can tell is working normally), Fuel System (I can hear the fuel pump turn on when I turn the key)?
Thanks for any help!
Rick
