It all started when i accidentally put it in the wrong gears. Instead of first gear, I put it in third gear. And then it chokes and dies. And after when i tried to start it. The car idle is not stable at all. And when i get the car to start up completely. It just dies off slowly. Help?

are you out of gas?

sounds like a fuel problem of some sort.. clogged fuel filter? bad injectors? dont see how putting your car in the wrong gear can affect any of that though..

Nah, my gas is full man. haha. Fuel Injectors going bad?
