But if you let off the gas and put it into neuteral it continues running?



If so, then it sounds like you have a lean condition. i.e. you're sucking lots of air, but the motor is not compensating by dumping more fuel. This could be related to a lot of different things. 1) fuel sock in the tank clogged, 2) Fuel pump not working properly, 3) fuel injectors clogged, 4) fuel line blockage of some sort, 5) fuel pressure regulator not working properly, 6) computer not working properly.

I would invest in a decent fuel pressure gauge and hook it up to the fuel rail. Then find out what is going on when it happens.


A tire pressure gauge MIGHT work, but it'll also make a MESS under the hood and all over your engine. a very FLAMABLE mess. Just invest in a fuel pressure gauge and hook it up.
