Hi again everybody!Just wanted some advise.I have a 92 geo metro auto with the 1.0.I went to Las Vegas And back from Salt Lake city and my car ran good for the first few hundred miles.I was driving 60-65 mph.Then my car started cutting out and the more gas i gave it the worse it got.I pulled over at the closest gas station,put some fuel cleaner and high grade gas thinking it might help.When i got back on the freeway i thought i fixed it but it did it all the way to Vegas and back(I spent a total of $73 round trip by the way).It would run normal for awhile then act up again but when i shut it off and restart it it stops??????I didnt even stop on the way back(except for gas and lunch) i would throw it in nuetral and restart it and back to normal for a while.What could this be?Fuel filter is pretty new.Could this be the fuel pump?Sensor?Why does it run normal when i restart it?HELP PLEASE!

posted area is OK. what is wrong is you posted during Saturday night partying and expected an answer before the Sunday morning hangover wore off. Chill, someone will
wake up soon..........(I, personally, do not have an answer for you).

OK, an automatic at say 40.5 mpg over 850 miles is 21 gallons at $3.60/gallon is $73 That's very good. :rocker

If it isn't a transmission issue it might be a clogged injector.

Run/No Run Mystery - oil pressure relief valve

But I wonder if it isn't the gas cap or the gas tank as in you should hear pressure releasing when you unscrew the cap. If not you may be looking at a clogged line. :dunno
