Question:

Hi, I have a 9 month old Rialta with 7000 miles. Driving back from San Diego to the SF Bay area on hwy 5 it suddenly stopped. We called the AAA and the serviceman sprayed something into that big plastic hose under the engine cover. Hardly but somehow we started again and we drove to a gas station (2miles). Even if the gas gauge showed half empty, we needed to fill her up with almost a full tank of gas. He also said we should fill her up after 100mi of driving. We managed to get home, but I just tried to start again and it is completely dead (the starter motor works). I filled the tank up completely with my emergency gas can) but I still can make it start. I need to drive down to San Diego again pretty soon. I'm wondering if anybody has an idea or similar experience. I would appreciate any help. Thanks Peter
