Garage
are you running out of fuel??

edit: shehadehd had this problem with a different car of his...if he parked nose facing DOWN the driveway, the car would run fine, if he parked nose UP in the driveway, the car would stall, but if he pegged the gas it would chug on around 4k rpm.

It was water in the gas. After trying to suck the gas out of the tank with an old (and our only) vacuum cleaner, it not only didnt work but we were left with a vacuum that would never smell clean again...

Long story short, drain the gas if water is a suspected problem
