Two days ago, I try starting my car, three minutes into the idle it shuts off. I restart it and it was fine. I drove for about five minutes then it shuts off at the stoplights. While driving it seems that while pressing the gas pedal the car is not accelerating. After pressing it a few times then it picks up. This happen a few times while driving. It got so bad now that I often puts it in Netual and and rev it up while waiting at the lights.

I don't think it is the alternater, all the lights and instrument panel works fine.

I put a bottle of injector cleaner in a tank of gas but to no avail.

I suspect it could be the Gas pump or maybe a relay switch.

What do you all think.

 

have you done maintenance lately?

did you replace the fuel filter?

 

Thanks Sleepwalker I never thought about the fuel filter. Where is it located? Is it difficult to change?

Before this problem started the check engine lights were on for a long time. I took it to the dealer and they check it and said it is no big deal not to worry too much about it. I took it to a second dealer and it was the same thing.

The stalling and shuting off and the no acceleration when pressing the pedal just started suddenly a few days ago.

I will take it to the dealer soon, but I wanted to have an idea of what it could be. Maybe it is something I could fix myself.
