Will not stay running but is getting gas what wrong?

There are a few possible reasons why your vehicle is not staying running but is getting gas. Here are a few things to check:

- Check the spark plugs and wires. If the spark plugs or wires are worn or damaged, they will not be able to create a strong spark to ignite the fuel, causing the engine to stall.

- Check the fuel filter. A dirty or clogged fuel filter can restrict the flow of fuel to the engine, causing the engine to stall.

- Check the air filter. A dirty or clogged air filter can restrict the flow of air to the engine, causing the engine to stall.

- Check the fuel pump. If the fuel pump is failing, it will not be able to deliver enough fuel to the engine, causing the engine to stall.

- Check the ignition coil. A faulty ignition coil will not be able to produce a strong enough spark to ignite the fuel, causing the engine to stall.

- Check the battery. A weak or dead battery will not be able to provide enough power to the starter motor to crank the engine, causing the engine to stall.

If you are unable to identify the problem yourself, you should take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic for diagnosis and repair.
