Robin's fuel issue??? I think...

[b.a.camaro]

No, the smell is gone. That was the alternator. I meant that it's stalling when I start it, and sometimes when I drive it doesn't speed up. It seems like it's gonna stall on me. Maybe it is the belt.
I changed the fuel filter about 3 months ago. Also, what if I got bad gas? (Kyle mentioned that last time) I think I'm gonna pick up some of that fueldry stuff or whatever it's called.

bad gas would do that also, but it don't sound like just bad gas, give me a list of everything you have replaced, but it is steering towards clogged cats.

Might as well weld in a straight pipe anyways...

Starter, Alternator, fuel filter, one fuel injector, rotor, coil, dist. cap, plugs, wires, brakes lines and hoses (whatever), shocks/struts, air filter, belt (2 years ago), coolant flush-ish (i leaked it all out, that counts right?), trans flush 3 years ago, rear diff fluid 2 years ago, I gotta change my oil this weekend.

I think that's everything. You know, I noticed it only does it when I'm getting low on fuel! Crazy - there's gotta be water in my tank.

[b.a.camaro]

yeah it sounds like water in the tank, i bought some bad gas awhile ago and mine did the same even though im' running a built 355. Bad gas will cause that, i want you to run the rest of the gas you have in it completely out put some new stuff in and let me know what happens. But i still think your cats are clogged.

[GETGONE]

You neglected to say it only does it when low on fuel previously. It is possible the nylon strainer sock on the end of the fuel pickup is collapsing and getting sucked shut, thus starving the car of fuel. It it runs fine with half a tank or more, I'd say this is the issue, even though with over 100K miles I'd bet the cats aren't in the best shape anymore either.

[Chicklet]

Like I said, I just noticed that it does it when it's low on fuel. I didn't notice it until recently.

How do I fix that nylon strainer sock? Should I get some of my panty hose?

Yeah, the cats might be the next project... Kyle says more power "oorh oorh oorh"

[GETGONE]

You have to drop the gas tank which is a pain in a 3rd gen. Not sure if the strainer is replaceable on these cars or if it's a manufactured part of the fuel pump.

[MP81]

I think it comes with the pump, I'm not sure if it's replacable (or buyable by itself) or not...

[GETGONE]

I know it comes with the pump. Some are replaceable by themselves since it's quite expensive to replace the whole pump.

[Chicklet]

Aw crap! Let's just throw some fuel dry stuff in there and see if that does the trick, then maybe the cats....then we'll go from there.

[b.a.camaro]

I didn't think about that one good call, and to replace the pump she needs to drop the rearend out because the gas tank sits over it and the pump with strainer is about $75.00. get back at me on this Robin i hate to see you go through hell.

Ok, I will. I'll get some of that fuel dry stuff this weekend and we'll see what happens. So far on this tank it only did that sputtery thing once right after I filled up. I have a little less than half tank left now. I'll keep ya'll posted!
