    Bitesize will be headed to the shop monday. Has bogging down problems so I figured it was the fuel injectors or the oil so I put a quart in her and cleaned the injectors and put some in the fuel and still the same problem so I'm going to be conserving gas for the next few days

    fuel filter, fuel pump, or like my s10 blown head ( hopefully not)

    is the CEL on? if its trying to die out when accelerating then its the fuel filter or fuel pump

    if its a misfire then check the plugs wires etc

    check that fuel filter for sure, much rather spend $11 on a new filter and take a chance that it might be the problem, instead of running it to a dealer or shop where they will charge you $50 + for a simple fix. If it turns out not to be the filter look on the bright side, you've somewhat narrowed down the problem and you have a new filter.

    It was low on oil anyways So I went ahead got some. But its hard to describe what it is doing like for example I get in 2nd gear and its real jerky while I acclerate and say when I'm in neutral and I rev up the engine will shake intially like hell.
