so i was drivin around the other night and it was pretty late....i was commin off of a closed road....i dumped the clutch and did a little burnout...which i usually never do caus im afraid im gonna blow this stock clutch..but neway...i noticed it was ideling a little funny....got up to a red light and it stalled.....tried starttin it back up and it wanted to start but wouldnt....the only way i can describe it is it felt as if my carb(if it had a carb) was flooded or i threw a timeing belt....so i sat there n tried it again and i pumed the gas gotta it runnin but it was really really rough...had to give it a lot of gas to get goin n i had to keep on the gas caus i didnt want it to die...luckily there was a gas station right on the corner so i pulled it in there n tried lettin it idle and it just died..tried it again and it did the samething...wanted to start but wouldnt for some reason? so i sat there..i went into the gas station n bought a quart of oil because it was low neway n i just figured it would kill some time...called up a buddy of mine and told him the situation and he said hold it to the floor and try startin it...took a sec to start but it did...i reved it a little...let the idle come down and everyhting was completely back to normal...been drivin it fine with no problems for about a week now but im still curious as to what it could be? i have no idea....any suggestions or comments as to what you think it would be? thanks guys
