    Unhappy UhOh, Spaggettio

    I hate when I have problems with my engine.

    Anyway, I was sitting at a light, and my idle speed went up and down erratically. Them I went to "QuickTrip" to get some gas. I filled her up with 93 octane. I started my car but it died right away. I started it again with the gas floored, but it still died. The third time it started.
    I put some injector cleaner in...... But i havent driven it since to notice if it helped.

    Any ideas?

    PS: I gave it a complete tune up in june-july.

    Check your fuel filter and your ignition coil to check the coil see if you get spark disconnect the wire going to the distributer ground it, crank the engine and watch to see if you get spark.

    I'd check the coil and the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator. Also check for vacuum leaks, they give the map sensor a bad signal.
