Hey everyone well I have a question I was driving on the High Way then all of a sudden my car felt like it was losing fuel it started slowing down it didn't power off my engine would rev fine I could down shift and hear the gear changes as the rpms went up I also felt it in the car but the car stopped accelerating as I pressed the gas then it powered off so I turned the car on again and put it in first then it moved a little and powered off again from there it wouldn't power on I could just crank and I can hear it crank again and again just fine the timing belt has no issues I personally think it is either the Fuel Pump or The ECU/Computer but I don't really know if I put a little bit of starter fluid I know it's not good but I wanted to see if it would power on and it did but it powered on and stayed one for like 30 seconds then powered off and just cranked
