I was driving my Viper "00 GTS" on a hot Texas morning after playing a round of Golf. I drove about 2 miles made 1 stop for about 5 minutes and then drove about 5 miles more headed home, going about 40 mph when all of a sudden the car started backfiring and sputtering and lurching pretty badly. I tried to accelerate and the problem continued. Fortunately I was about a mile from home and made it there, with my car continuing to exhibit the same problem.
Has anyone had a similar experience? I'm going to try it later in the day to see if I have the same problem.
I also looked for any signs of tampering with the gas cap( looking for signs of sugar or anything else) but found nothing. I've never had my fuel system tampered with or contaminated before but is it a possibility? How many miles would you go before problems develop if this did happen?
Any input would be appreciated.
