update on 98 stratus starting problem

Dec 08, 2007 1 Replies

well i went out to try to start the car and it started real hard ,like it wasn't getting gas. once i pumped the pedal it started and actually idled. i could rev it and it sounded great. then when i went to drive it down the street, it started to miss a little and then when i put the pedal to the metal i couldn't get over 30mph. no power but not really missing either? i got it back home and now it's hard starting again. could the brand new fuel pump/acc be bad? will probably be going into the shop next week ;-( thanks Randy


fuel pumps are a pain. yes a brand new pump can be bad.
