Mitsubishi Repair: Starting issues, mass air sensor, mitsubishi gt


Question
I own a 2000 Mitsubishi GT manual tran. Ok so problem It happened 2 weeks ago i ran my car to work came off of work to go home car won't start so I throw  2 gallons worth of gas into it just like a friend told me to do starts no issues I filled up the car same day i got it started now my gas meter is reading half a tank and didn't start i don't think i drove it to empty again put 2 gallons of gas into it and still won't start. I am think maybe fuel fuse is bad or going out or something else. I am going back to work today to see if i can get it started but any advice or knowledge answer that could help me save money on the repairs would be greatly appreciated.

Answer
Joe,
Have the fuel pump checked.  There's a chance the pump is weak can is unable to provide adequate fuel pressure to start the engine.  If the fuel is really emptying that fast, you may have a leak or your mass air sensor may be failing and you engine is running extremely rich.  It may even help to have a couple mechanics check it out, and get a few estimates.
Good luck!
