I changed the fuel filter yesterday, and drove it after that, everything seemed fine. I checked it today after school for leaks, and I could faintly smell gas. We took the battery out and got the bottom bolt on the filter about 3/4 of a turn more. We get the battery back in and try to start it up, it wouldn't. It started up for a few short moments, then just died.


I have been having some idling problems untill it's warmed up, but nothing major.

Please help, I am supposed to be to work in an hour.


Thanks a lot guys

Also, on the way home from school, when i would step on the gas, it would hesitate and bog down.



*EDIT*

My friend helped me and we found out that when we took off the cover to the fuel pump a connection came loose. I need to just keep my fingers crossed for now.
