the car starts but when when u push on the gas it pops then dies i dont know if its worth fixing someone help

Your car is 16 years old. Get a new one and your problems are solved.

Timing needs adjusting.

Timing, clogged fuel filter...can be a really easy fix.

You probably have a clogged fuel filter, or worst case, rust in the gas tank may be clogging your fuel line.

Might be a vacuum leak on the breathing system, as the car runs faster the vacuum becomes greater, if there is an airleak it corrupts the air fuel mix, check the breathing system for airleaks, if you find one stem the leak

Did you recently change the oil or add oil? If this is the case you may have over filled it and the engine is flooded. You have to drain it out all over again. this time only filling it halfway. Or it may be the Carburetor. If the car has low miles and is in decent condition , it might be worth spending the 200 bucks. Good luck

Take it to a local mechanic and have him put it on the scope..it sounds like it needs timing..........not a big deal..have it tuned up..always change the PVC valve and the gas filter when they do the tune up..these are not expensive.

Could be any number of things, but if you have not changed the fuel filter, you may try this first. If the filter is good what about the air filter? Next would be to check for any restrictions in the Catalytic converter. When was the last time you gave it a tuneup? Before you give up on take it to shop or 2 for an estimate to repair.

fuel filter or fuel pump
