Angry why my car!?

so... for anyone who may have remembered, my car was in the shop getting the MAF sensor replaced, because it would start, run for two seconds, and then die. well it ran great for 3 weeks, and then two days ago, on my way home from work i stopped at a gas station to fill my radiator (there are little holes in the top that it evaporates out of, but i never let it get too low) so i fill it up, hop back in my car, and my car wouldnt even turn over. It would click, and you could tell something was trying to move, but that was it. i went to call for a ride, i came back out, and it started, but it was running like it was missing or something, and as i drove it, it kinda felt like it was surging a little or something, no matter how fast or slow or what gear. I got home, turned off my car and went inside. When i tried to start it later it, it would just crank and crank and crank. It sounds like it wants to start, and it gets close, so i was thinking maybe for some reason it wasnt getting the gas it needed, so i tried spraying some of that starter stuff in the air filter, but that didnt change anything. what on earth can i do?

go back to the service station that did the repair and compalin explain that there service was not performed correctly. or take it to the dealer for diagonsis. If you can't figure out the problem take it to someone who will charge for it, the dealer.
