I have noticed a day or two ago that when I start my car it churns a couple of times before starting up, and everynow and then when i come to a stop it sounds like the engine almost dies and once it did. Now it justs turns over and IF it cranks i have to push the gas to keep the engine running and as soon as I let my foot off the gas the RPMs goto 0 and the engine stops. Any suggestions? I don't think it could be the battery if it is turning over, right? Anyway any suggestions would be helpful. I also just had my oil changed.

Thanks

Sounds like a fuel problem.......kinda common with Disco's. Either a clogged fuel filter or a failing fuel pump.

Turns out it was a weak battery.
