Default Car running awful then fine

Guys,

My car started running really bad - like it was misfiring. Either that or it wasn't getting any gas so I was thinking fuel pump problem. The car was warmed up and still doing this.

I had to get it back to my house today so I started driving and the car was chugging along as if I was running out of gas ( tank was full) and when I got to a red light it would idle crazy and then die.

So, I kept driving along at like 20mph, and then all of a sudden it started running fine. When I got close to my neighborhood I stomped on it to see what would happen and it started haulin ***. So I turned it off and started it and it drove fine.

Now I am confused??

I could feel my injectors ticking so I thought it was misfiring. But if that was the case then it wouldn't have started running fine. Any ideas???

This is a 70k motor.

Thx,
Jonny
