    Have you done any work to it recently? How many miles are on the car?

    Stab in the dark: It's starving for air. Open the airbox, check for a rat's nest. Make sure the throttlebody is not obstructed. Make sure there's nothing touching the wires inside the MAF sensor tube (the cylinder attached to the air box after the corrugated rubber tube on the throttlebody). Once saw the same thing from a feather stuck to the MAF sensor.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    This car has been a nightmare since I got it, it recently overheated and the coolant arm (?) was replaced, I dont know much about cars, I just google the symptoms and go from there and everything has come back to a fuel system problem. I do know that sometimes when I go to start it it has stalled right after I turned the key, but this time it refuses to start, just turning over. I will figure out where everything is and attempt at fixing this, thank you!
