SR20DET Won't stay started - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I went outside to start my car today, and when I started it, it bogged down and died. Then I started it again, and it stayed on long enough to warm up, like 5-10 minutes, and when I hit the gas it bogged down and died.

The fuel pump is priming, the fuel filter is good. All the vacuum hoses look good. The head gaskets not blown, there's no fluids on the ground or anything.

Does anyone know what it could be?

Not enough fuel

It still starts and everything and it's been my daily driver for 2 months, I'm confused as to how it would go from being fine to not getting enough fuel, ya know?
