I was driving my car along fine the other day then it started making sounds like it was going to run out of gas. I thought this was the issue, however after getting gas, it was still doing the same thing, spluttering and idleing strange as though it was going to run out of gas yet I had just out some in. Any help or ideas welcome!
If it idles rough at a stop light or sign, or in park but runs fine above 1000 - 1500 RPM my guess is gonna be a vaccum leak. very very common, check near your charchol canister.the leak it-self sounds like a whistle but the car usually sounds like a cammed out hot rod. spray carb cleaner around the engine and listen for an increase in idle speed. if the car idles like that and has lack of power, check that your spark plug wires arnt sitting ontop of the engine and have melted or heated up enough to wear down to allow a spark to jump through to the block instead of the spark plug. NOTE* do not inspect with the engine running you runnthen possibility to get shocked.
Thank you so much Brennon, we pulled the spark plugs out last night and it looks like these could be the problem! So we are replacing them! I will check the vacuum leak part also - this could be it. Thank you so much for this!
No Problem. Hope that fixes it, if it doesnt or something else goes wrong dont hesitate to ask.

I had the same problem. I just did a full tuneup including a fuel filter. Car runs like new.
