HELP - Engine trouble?
Started my car Tuesday night and went for a little ride and I noticed that when I had constant throttle the engine was sputtering a little. Well I just tried to start my car this morning and it will not turn over at all. When I first turned the key, 1 second later the car died. Then I tried again and it kept going but the car would not start. All my lights work. My 383 Superram is all brand new and has only 1900 miles on it. Also, I think I smell a little fuel

You don't need help yet....
You know you need to check fuel so get a pressure guage and have at it. If you find it is getting fuel and have spark then post up here and ask for help. Any other recommendations will have you chasing your tail until you verify fuel and spark
Heck, you may end up replacing the fuel pump, regulator, opti, waterpump, adding long tubes, pulling the frisbee, getting a tune, putting nitrogen in your tires, and putting on 1.6RRs before you figure out that you are out of gas.
Sorry...couldn't resist

. It has something to do with fuel/spark, maybe injector etc. When I start the car I have to keep the throttle around 2-3K RPM for several minutes and then take off. I already planned on going to see him tomorrow because he invited my girlfriend and I to stay the night tomorrow and hit a big car show Saturday 5 minutes from his house. Actually it is a blessing
that I had this planned and my troubles started Tuesday night. Everything should be taken care of tomorrow or Saturday. I will let you know what the problem was Saturday night. Hopefully something very minor
