Power loss then cut out while driving car thought it was running out of gas but car had gas in it but put more gas in anyway just in case, car started went to drive off and there was only a little movement just abit of noise [ba da da da] abit of backfire no smoke, car idles perfect its just when press the throttle theres no power just a [baa da da da] sound is it timing or vaccum or just throttle body failure somewhere can anyone help please
There are a few thing that can cause this type of problem, A weak fuel pump is the most common, not enough fuel pressure . the pump puts out just enough to start and idle but when gas is applied it sputters and pops and stalls out. I would start with having the fuel pressure tested, a fuel pressure gauge will be needed to perform this test. you may be able to rent one from auto parts store, you will connect at the injector rail, there will be a valve , like the tire air valve. screw end of gauge to valve and start engine and see what the pressure is. the pressure needs to be at 38 psi, or test pressure without starting just turning key on and then pressure needs to be 47- 50 psi.
If the pressure is lower than the specs then pump is bad..
the other problems could be a bad tps sensor or mass air flow sensor, but from the way you listed what the problem is doing i would have to say start with the fuel pump testing first,
SOURCE: car jerks violently while driving
air bubble in gas lines or a big ******** id say get it flushed
SOURCE: Engine is missing and shaking bad when idleing or driving slow
it's probably one of the coils , I'd buy one and try replacing one of the two there ! , let me know how ya make out !

hey common problem w/the 2000 galant. you may need a mirror to see this, look and or feel where your throttle body mates up to your intake manifold. it has a problem of cracking, when you have an air leak there it will run like **** and usually shut off depending on the severity. this will cause you to get the throttle position malfunction code. if that is the case instead of buying a new or used intake manifold. take the old one off, and you can actually cut it flush and weld about a 2 inch in length tube to repair the crack. well let me know how it goes.

yes bad ecu. exat same thing happened to a freind of mine he replaced maf, coolant sensor, distributor all that came trough check engine light. and still the same and chugged gas like crazy and fans were o always. i swapped his ecu with mine n car ran perfect. so he got new ecu and here he is driving happily to this day.
it was a 96 galant 2.4 sohc with around 75,000 miles.
good luck

I have mitsubishi Pajero GDI V6 3500, i was on the high way and suddenly the movement became very slugsih. i contacted my Auto mechanic who discovered that one side of the engine is not performing, the left side exhaust was cold while the right side was hot. ie the cold side injection nuzzles does not work , please what could be the possible solution ?
