I have no idea what that means. You "want a"... You "won a"...??? Is it pertinent to the problem?

Is the car out of gas? Have you checked for spark? Fuel pressure? Timing? Compression? You have to help us, help you.

RACE ON!!!

If it runs you can go to autozone to get the codes pulled then come back and post them.
