Re: engine trouble

    Well, things I have learned lately, I shall relate.  My car had a
similar problem, and it was the oxygen sensor.  In fact, the whole system
just was not working.  A new computer and relay, and the problem was fixed.
Just a thought, yours actually sounds more severe than mine was.  I could
still drive mine fine.  At a simplier level, it sounds like maybe your fuel
pump is not putting out enough gas.  Just some more fun thoughts for you.
