car died at the gas station
so i left work tonight, car started up normally, nothing weird. i was on E so i stopped at a gas station, filled up(about 10 minutes give or take). went to start the car and its dead...WTF had to have to gas station attendants push start me. went home(2 miles) then went to the bar and back(less thatn 2 miles). everything seemed fine, it started up strong, with no hesitation, so what went wrong? nothing was left on, and it hasnt been in a flood(thought i would throw that in there since it has rained for 8 straight days here in jersey. all connections seem secure, just weird. good thing its a manual so they could push start me!

mine did that the other day at a gas station. wouldn't start. i waited about four minutes. then it started but felt like it was only running on 5 cylinders. then all of a sudden, it ran right. never done it before, and hasn't since.

Auto owners have had trouble with it, so I cannot see why the 6 MT could not have the same trouble.
