2001 Nissan Quest 3.5L

I went to a shop to pick up a resistor box from my brothers car in my moms van. My car is being flooded with fuel so I used hers.
It was low on gas and as I was about to get to the freeway it just died and was barely moving. I went and got two gallons of gas and it started up like a champ, I drove it about 50' and it started hesitating again. I needed to pull over so I kept driving it and got near a gas station. My brother got 2 more gallons of gas since I thought that wasnt the problem and again, it was still struggling.

Basically, it turns on like a boss but when you step on the gas it feels as if it has no gas and even when you floor it, RPMS dont go past 4000 and it even struggles to get there.

Any input?

Everyone keeps saying that lol. The fuel screen or the filter in the bay?? Im starting to think that the pump is dead since the van was ALWAYS on empty. Its probably been filled up 5 times in the 5 years she owned it.

Maybe you had bad spark plug seals on the valve cover?

That could be your problem right there.

I did lol! But it's that's all fixed now just waiting on my crank pulley to get fixed.. It fell out the other day!
Mine fell out too, stupid f**king piece of s**t shop used a bolt too small. Which was kinda cool cuz they gave me a D15B pulley so I revved up noticeably faster.

Yeah im guessing as well.

My bolt either backed out or broke... we really have no clue... I had just left my friend's house when it happened! Lucky I was like 10 feet from his driveway! None of my belts snapped or nothing! I'm lucky!
