Is it throwing any codes, CEL on? Keep it simple, start with plugs, wires, and coils. Could be something as simple as a loose wire to your coil pack, or a loose coil on the plug. Determine if it is electrical before you move on to fuel.

ima burn the use the rest of the fuel (less than 1/4 tank) then refill it at a different gas station. hopefully that will do it.

id start where Matt said. have you checked your plugs? Wires? Coils? id start there before you burn off all your fuel and that not be the problem. = wasted gas.

Do you have a check engine light? If not, then its probably not any type of spark issue...sounds like a coil pack but with no engine light then that cant be it.

Fill up your tank with some new gas from a differant station and see if that helps...could just be bad gas

The Mach is too much for you. I'm heading your way, get ready to be the new owner of a 02 Ram. haha

But yea, check your wires, plugs, coil packs. Just take a second to look under the hood. Then go get some more gas.
