Question B7 Sputtering .. looking for local help.

I posted this under General Tech, but I was looking for some local help.

I started the car lastnight and all of a sudden it started sputtering. Gave it gas and it felt like it was going to die. I am out of warranty and basicaally "ballin on a budget" (lol). The sputtering was so bad that it had a hard time getting into my garage from the driveway.

Any help would be appreciated !

Did you get a cel. Also sounds like it's not getting fuel. check the gas gauge and add some. J/k but seriously. Anyway if it threw a cell maybe one night this week I can make the long journey out there and vag it for you.
