Consumer Description

EVERYTIME I TRY TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC MY CAR LOSES POWER AND SOMETIMES DIES. I HAVE TRIED TO KEEP MY GAS TANK ABOVE HALF A TANK BC IT SEEMS TO RUN BETTER WHEN IT IS. BUT I CANT ALWAYS DO THAT AND AS SOON AS IT HITS AROUND A FOURTH OF A TANK IT STRUTS TO MESS UP BAD.. IT FEELS KINDA LIKE A MISS. IT WILL START MESSING UP AND EVENTUALLY START LOSING POWER. IT HAS JERKING MOVEMENTS WHEN I PUSH ON THE ACCELERATOR. I HAVE TRIED TO FIGURE OUT WHY IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS.. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE PLUS SO I GOT THOSE CHANGE AND THE PLUG WIRES THAT DIDN'T HELP SO THE NEXT GUESS WAS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER GOT THAT TAKEN OFF AND CHECKED IT WASN'T THAT.. I RESEARCH AND RESEARCH AND THEN DISCOVERED THIS WEBSITE. *TR
