Hello

I have a 1994 Celica ST with the 1.8L engine. It has 150,000 miles on it currently. Yesterday, on my way to work, the car began to sputter and act like it was going to stall. I let up on the gas a bit and it kicked in for a little bit, but it would go back down again. It seems that if I can keep it in around the 2500-2700 RPM range, it doesn't happen much. This happens in all of the gears. If I push the gas pedal down further, it almost dies. I travel 60 miles to work each day, and I need my car. Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be wrong?

I am not an expert (barely a novice...) but I am suspecting - rather, hoping - that it is something fuel related. Perhaps the fuel pump, or injectors? Also, could you please provide ballpark estimates of how much a repair would cost?

Thank you in advance! :-)
