Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2001 Rav4. My car recently loss
power on the freeway it felt like it was about
to stall. I kept it at a even speed and it didn't.
As soon as I got off the freeway it died. I
restarted it at the third attempt. Every time I
put in drive it died out. As it drove it puttered
and pulled back no power then died again
every stop. I had very little gas in the car. I
added has no change. Drove it home with
several dies out. Oh and it felt like when
power finally came back it acellerated!??

did your check engine light come on? Did you get a code? Auto zone will read the code for free but you need to get it there.
