My 92 Corolla died on the freeway. It acted like it ran out of gas. The fuel filter was clogged, changed it. Then it started, ran rough. Then it wouldn't start again. Changed fuel pump. Still won't start. What should I check next?

Check to see if your timing belt broke. Remove the Distributor cap and watch the rotor as the engine cranks. If the rotor spins then the Timing belt is at least in place. If it doesn't spin then the Timing chain/belt has broken and will need to be replaced. You will also have to have the valves checked to verify they have not bent after making contact with the piston heads.

Your Question:I was driving my 95 blazer on the freeway and it felt like it was running out of gas fuel was low but not out I got off the freeway it died at the stop sign and it and has not start senc

You could pour a little fuel at the intake. But, in order to know for sure you need to check for correct fuel pressure and volume. Check to see if you have spark at the spark plugs, also. Need to diagnose properly to save from having to buy anything you don't need to buy.

sometimes the tank decomposes from the inside flaking off and clogging filters, pumps, etc. always a good idea to completly remove tank and flush to check for same when changing the fuel pump. if that's your problem, you will need a new gas tank

I put wrong fuel in toyota corola

Drop the fuel tank down and drain the fuel out of it. Replace the fuel filter. Put high octane gas back in it with Lucas Fuel System Cleaner and it may take a few ignition cycles to finally get the car to start. Start it and let it run or go drive it down the freeway for 20 miles. Replace the fuel filter again. and run a 2nd tank of gas with 92 octane gas.

I have a 2004 suzuki forenza it has 53000 miles on it and all of a sudden it stopped running on the freeway its acting like it is out of gas

If it acts like it's out of gas maybe it's really out of gas - the fuel pump has died or the fuel filter is clogged . Check them.

My automatic car acts like it is going to stall

Definitely sounds like a fuel problem. I'd change fuel filter and check fuel pump. If pump is running it could still be partially clogged. Try a fuel rail pressure test with a knowledgeable mechanic.

Ran out of gas

Hi you need to change your fuel filter on your car as it is probably clogged with dirt as the car ran so low.
It is fitted under the car near the fuel tank.
Change your fuel filter first then check the fuel pump fuse as it may be blown as well if the pump was not able to pump fuel.
It should be a humming or hissing sound at the tank.
