| Description of the problem | When i went to start my car it immediately shut off, as it occasionally does. The rpm's dropped and the engine cut out. Usually the problem is resolved by me revving the engine for a minute or two, but the problem persisted longer than usual. It eventually stayed on and i tried to drive away. As i changed into gear everything seemed okay, i reversed from where i was parked then i put it into drive and while in the middle of the road the engine cut out and i was stuck there for only a few seconds luckily. I drove back to where i was parked and as i stopped the engine cut out on me. This typically has happened to me when the gas tank was below half. I managed to get to a gas station and fill up and that stopped the problem. |
