Unhappy my wont start and does not like petrol?????

there is something wrong with my baby...... my 1600 vtec integra 1990 auto has a thing with not starting this week, she sometimes does and other times wont.

when i put petrol in she wont start for about 6 times or when she does will stall after about 30sec. although has not stalled while driving

when driving in a 100km/h zone the rev counter goes mental and the car starts to pull backwards.

i cant put my foot down or race around the streets anymore cause she just to sensitive at the mo, if i do try she will die on me.

so when driving a vtec like a nana while the music is booming i feel a little silly and also not being sure if ill make it from one place to another.

SO I NEED HELP CAUSE IM TO SCRARED TO DRIVE IT AT THE MOMENT INCAUSE I DO MORE DAMAGE,
i was told to see a auto-electriction but i would like to know what i want them to fix first before they charge me an arm and a leg to find a problem

PLEASE HELP ME

have you done any work or made any modifications lately? have you checked your fluids and around the engine for anything abnormal?

Re: my wont start and does not like petrol?????

i have just done a oil anf filter change, cleaned pod filter, radiator flush but not modifications, i tryed to start my car and it now wont even start, so i have to tow it to the auto electriction to get him to look at it, not good having a car that wont start,
the battery is not very old but there is something so mayjourly wrong that it is drainging my battery and i need to jump start it everyday just to keep it semi drivable while i dont use it, it was surgested by a mecanic that it could be the relay??? but i have no idea what that would control,
so my baby is off to the dyno to be tested, man glade im close enough to walk to work or i would be in the big s%^t.
what side of the electrical with my car could be draining my battery and making my car act like there is no petrol in it, should have listened when we told me not to buy this car.

how did everything run before you did the work? and yes, check the alternator belt. even thought the battery is kinda new, it could still have a dead cell in it causing it to not hold a charge. if you can take the battery out and go have it checked out. and also see if that alt belt is tight.

Re: my wont start and does not like petrol?????

PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!
new battery and the relay controling the petrol pump( car was not recognising that it had any petrol and petrol was not getting through) was stuffed, so relay is all fixed up and they still testing for other things but it running well now and sounds good too. hope there are no more problems.
$129 is way better than what i was expecting.
thanks heaps
