IF I PLACE IN NEUTRAL OR SLIGHTLY PRESS GAS PEDAL IT WILL STAY RUNNING. WHEN DRIVING IF I NEED TO HIT THE GAS PEDAL TO PASS OR SPEED UP THE CAR JUST DOES NOT REACT AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE, LIKE IT WANTS TO SHUT OFF UNTIL I LET OFF THE PEDAL. NO LIGHTS ON, NO CODES. AT TIMES WHEN IT HAS STALLED IT RESTARTS AND SURGES UP AND DOWN. SOMETIMES THE CAR DRIVES PERFECT, THEN OUT OF NOWHERE THE PROBLEM IS BACK. NOW ONE THING I HAVE NOTICED IS WHEN I FILL THE TANK ABOVE HALF WAY IT SEEMS TO BE FINE, BUT ONCE IT GETS TO HALF WAY MARK AND BELOW IS WHEN I NOTICE THIS PROBLEM AND IT STAYS UNTIL ABOUT THE EMPTY MARK NOT SURE WHY THAT IS, EITHER THE TANK, PUMP, FILTER NOT REALLY SURE BUT DEFINITELY CAN BE A DANGEROUS CONDITION IF NOT ADDRESSED. IF EVER ONE DAY I WAS TO NEED THE POWER TO BE THERE FOR SOME REASON THE CAR JUST FALLS ON ITS FACE WHEN THE PEDAL IS APPLIED.
