97 lincoln towncar. PLEASE Sign In

I went to start my car this am and it was backfiring, running very rough and then died. It started again and did the same thing. My husband is ready for a heart attact. I did fill the gas tank at a new place and wonder if I could have gotten bad gas. Please can someone help me.
Justme.

Hard to say from here. Bad gas which is rare would probably NOT backfire. More like an ignition problem like plug wires??

Thanks for the reply. My husband started it this am and it is now idiling but when you give it gas it stays at idle. You can floor it and it still stay at idle. Keeping your foot floored for a few min. rpm increase let up on gas pedal and then touch gas pedal rpm's increase, release gas pedal rpm's goes to idle. Hit the gas pedal again stays at idle. floor it stays at idle. then it repeats. Now I am the one ready to go nuts.

Are they any codes? Service Engine Soon light on? Sounds like a problem with MAF (mass air flow) plain fuel pressure problem, or perhaps the TPS (throttle position sensor) -- I still doubt this is bad gas but how can I know from here?
