So I changed both filters under the hood a week ago. I tried bleeding the air out with the pump and could not get much fuel in the clear filter. So I loosened the injectors and cranked the engine until I saw a little bit of fuel at all 4 injectors. She ran fine for a few days.

I took a drive this weekend and encountered a steeeeeeep ass driveway that I had to climb. A few miles down the road I lost power and coasted to a stop where she died and would not restart. I loosened injectors again and got her to run again. I drove 2 or 3 miles and repeat. I finally made it home and now I am afraid to go anywhere in it now. I let it run at idle for an hr today with no problems and actually drove a mile down the road before I chickened out and came home.

This was my first time doing this myself. Did I skip a step? What have I done?
