After replacing the fuel filter the car want stay running for very long.

Thanks for your quick response. I personally didn't do the work but I can ask the guys that did. This was all done in June 2014 and has been sitting ever since I just recently charged the battery and drove the car around the neighborhood and it acted great, the next day I did the same thing only for a shorter amount of time then the following day I backed it out of the driveway into the street to park it and it died. The next day I started it up but didn't drive it. I have reached my snapping point now without my own car.

well,if its been sitting for almost a year,with the same gas in it,the gas is probably bad,condensation,(water) has built up in tank. how much gas was left in it for 9 months?

Sorry, I took so long the gas amount was 3/4 full. One day I can drive a mile or so when I decide not press my luck and park it. then another day may be from driveway to the street then before it dies. I've haven't restarted it any sooner than a couple of hours in the past. I know the air was not bleed off the cooling system after replacing the thermostat. Not sure how to do this on my car.

Thanks for the tip Perri
