This car only has 30,400 original miles on it and has been well kept.
The car kept cutting out, no sputter, no faltering, it just stopped. At first I thought it was the coil, but but now I think it's in the fuel system, but I'm not sure. In order to get it to start, I have to turn the key, and hold it until the engine catches, and give it plenty of fuel while doing so. I'm also smelling raw fuel when I do this. I have to keep slight pressure on the throttle at stop lights in order to keep it from stalling out. Near as I can figure, it's a fuel system problem, but I have no idea if I'm right, and since the only dealer here has a rep for overcharging, and "finding" problems, I want to know what to tell them before I take it in. HELP!
