Car stalls when stopped, and slowing down? Help!
Hello,
So I have a 2004 Lancer. It was running perfectly fine, but long story short, it wasnt driven, at all for like 4 months. I go to start it and obviously the battery is dead. I buy a new battery, and it starts up just fine. I decide to drive it to work, I get about 2 minutes away from the house and it kinda of starts to act like its going to die when I take my foot off the gas. The gas light is on, so I pull into the gas stating, stop at a pump and it completely dies. I put $5 worth of gas in it and start it and let it idle and it dies again. I decide to try and drive it home, and it dies at stop lights, and start to act like its going to die, if I take my foot off the gas. I would stop at a light, flip into nuetral and rev the gas a bit and it wouldnt die. I decided to try it again the next day and the exact same issue.
What could be causing this? The gas that sat in the tank for 4 months? It ran perfectly fine before that. Could it be something with the battery replacement? I starts fine.. I know nothing about cars, help me!!
