Fuel Problems, no power while driving.

[3aG1e_7a1oN]

So I put my fuel pump in today, and went to drive it around. Things seemed to be going alright, but the car just seemed weak. I could floor it, and it just wouldn't get up and go. It felt like it didn't matter whether I floored it or barely tapped the pedal it went about the same.

So there's my first problem, after that, the car starting sputtering and died on me several times. After like ten minutes I could start it and drive it around a little bit before it died again. The first time it happened, it was just idling, then it just started sputtering for like 20 seconds and just died. After that I would try to start it again and it would start but keep sputtering. But after waiting for like ten minutes it would run fine, for about 5 minutes.

Got some white smoke from the exhaust when that was happening.

Umm, so you're stating a problem and we have NO idea what could lead to the problem. What type of fuel pump? Are you using larger injectors, if so are you tuning them? You just don't have any info about your car on your profile so we have no clue what the problem could be.

make sure to change the fuel filter

its kinda next to your battery if you look down past it, you'll see it

It's already been replaced though.

I also hear a clicking from behind my dash when the car turns on and off, the ECU has just been replaced, could it be the relay?

When I tried to start it today, the car would start then start shaking and sputter and then just die, it would do that several times and on occasion it would fire up like it was going to run, then just sputter and die again.

when did you change the filter? plugs? wires? start with the easy stuff
