ok heres the deal guys...... by the way this si going to be kinda long....
yesterday i went to the same gas station that i always go to and ask the guy to fill my tank with super.. he says ok and then about 2 minutes later he says $7.50 please.....(this is odd considering it cost me exactly $16 every single time.... i tell him it is not full and to please continue to fill it... he squeezes the trigger and nothing goes in... he says it is full..... i say ok then and pay the $7.50 and go to start my car.... to my surprise it wont start....absolutly no response... i knew it wasnt my battery because i had my parking lights on, radio on and my horn still worked.... i ask the guy to try filling it one more time..... ok now here is the really weird part.... exactly $7.50 goes into it again.. i pay the money and try to start the car again.... nothing... i then see my friend and ask him to help me push start it real quick.... it starts right up and is fine....
then later yesterday i go to start my car and it wont start again.... i push start it and it starts up, i am driving through the parking lot and i shift into second while going around a turn..... when i depress the clutch the rpm's drop to zero and it stalls (by the way i almost hit the curb cause i didnt relieze the power steering stoped lol) well i figure since i am still moving i might as well pop the clutch in first again to start it.... it starts up and i notice that if i put in in nuetral or put the clutch down without any gas it dies..... so i am start driving home... (giveing it gas the whole time, what a chore that was, it is hard to stop at a stop sign while giving it a constant low gas by the way) about 3 minutes after i leave the lot it works fine again....
then today it wont start again but i was perpared parked on a hill in front of my house with a small runway in front of me to push start it lol... it starts up and i sit there and keep on the gas for about 3 minutes and it was fine.....
it does this every single time.... please help!!!!!
things to keep in mind - i have checked all fuses, i can still hear the fuel pump, i have hit the clutch button with my finger and tried it.... and i have looked at all my vacum hoses and i can find a leak.... my maf plug is also secure... any help would be great....
thank you in advance
