I have a 92 plymouth grand voyager with approx. 180k miles on original engine. Not running great, but still had alot of power. For about the last month, I have not been filling the tank - usually only about half full. I also have not filled it as early as I should (below E). Yesterday, I drove about 5 miles and it was running ok. I stopped for gas & decided to fill it up completely. When I started the car after, it would idle only for a few seconds & then die. I limped home, with it stalling whenever the RPM's dropped below 1500. To start it I had to gun the engine. On hills, it had very little power. At first I thought that the car had finally died and I would need to replace it right away. Then I started thinking that, because it was running ok before I got gas, maybe that was what was wrong. If it is, is there something inexpensive I can do to correct it? I am single mom with 2 boys & am wiped out after Christmas & rent. I appreciate any help you can you can give.
