    Any codes? Overheating?

    Could be the fuel pump if it can only handle idle but not throttle demands

    What can I do if it's the fuel pump?

    Not sure which way to go in your poll though......... tough choice.

    On a more serious note, reported post to mods so hopefully a mod wil move this to a Canadian section of the forum. Because no one from CONUS can come to you right now.

    Good luck! Let us know the end result of the fix please.

    You’ll probably have better luck finding help in the Ontario sub forum. Not much help we can provide from south of the border.

    Hard to have a catastrophic failure without generating a code.

    Why are you panicking if you have help on the way? Are there wolves?

    In US terms, 5 hours * 70 MPH=350 miles. 350 miles divided by 18 MPG= 19.4 gallons. Are you sure you're not out of gas?

    don't trust the fuel meter on the dash, it has a habit of being wrong. Add a few gallons in and see what happens. Don't top it off because then it'll be a headache to drop the tank if it is pump related.

    perhaps some ravenous moose
