sr20det was running fine after not being started for a few months, after a few minutes i was reving it up a bit, then is puttered out and died. Now when i start it, it turns over for a few seconds then putts out even when giving it a little gas, it just stops. Just poured a little fuel in, as it was low. Thanks for any help! ---

Try changing your fuel filter - if the car has been sitting without being started for a few months, I bet that the fuel in your tank has broken down and plugged the filter. Pour in a bunch of fresh gas, add a fuel system cleaner, and change your filter. If you are able, you should never let your fuel level go below 1/4 of a tank, because then the fuel pickup won’t be grabbing the nasty crap at the bottom of your tank. ---

yea i will try a fuel filter maybe its clogged, i found it weird that it was running for a few minutes before that happened right after i revved it up. maybe thats when it picked up some shit and clogged the filter, i will try. ---

OK its not the fuel pump or the filter. something to do with the air but the lines seem to be all connected as i said it was running fine before i revved it up a bit, then it died, so does anyone have any idea what would “go” in terms a air management that would stop it from running?? ---
