Ok i did try searching but nothing i found was really specific to my problem. Ok my car has been running fine. I took it out for a drive today. It was driving great and then i would press down on the pedal and the car didn't respond.. so i down shifted and it was fine then. Then at a stop light the idle got lower and it died, it started back up after a couple tries of it cranking. About 5 times on the way home i lost throttle response then about 2 miles away from my house it dies and i coast off the hwy. It would crank and try to start but it would die in seconds like it was barely getting gas. My fuel gauge was reading 1/4 full so i was thinking it was probably off so i put in 2 gallons and now it won't do anything more than just crank, it's worse than it was before i put more gas in it. I looked in the engine bay and my front mount intercooler piping seems to be intact and i didn't see any vacuum lines or anything disconnected but it was dark when i went back to look. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

i had the same problem a couple of weeks ago. Make sure that your intercooler piping isnt loose or any vacum line double check. My car bogged out after a race and didnt wanna start and when it did it would go past 2500 rpms. After i stopped to check my clamp had snapped and my intercooler hose was loose so double check everything.
