Take the time to learn about your car, once of the things it has is a clear plastic fuel intake screen before the fuel injection pump under the hood .

Wipe it clean and see if there's any crud in it ~ usually you'll fine some, occasionally the crud gets so bad the car runs poorly or stops running .

If it's running fine now, add some biocide (the crud in the clear intake screen is FUNGUS not Algae like some think) and then learn how to adjust the valves, they need adjusting every 10,000 miles or 12 months and no one ever does them so learn and do this A.S.A.P. .

WELCOME NEWBIE ! .
