My son and I loaded up for our first car show in the Sprint today......and she spit, sputtered, blue smoke, etc. I barely got her back in the garage. I had the fuel tank changed last week. Afterwards, the car ran like new.....flawlessly, it idled perfectly and accelerated like it had a 500 horse engine under the hood. Driving around town same thing: flawless. Then all of a sudden last night as I lightly touched the accellerator it shut down. I changed fuel filter again when I got home (Repair shop strained the original gas and put it back in new tank, it was snowing last week and I was too much of a wimp to lie outside in the white stuff)
anyway I am guessing.....guessing, perhaps the fuel pump is malfunctioning...I just ordered a new one I will see if that helps. I am perplexed as it runs prefectly then not at all. The carb is flithy with carbon now. This car sat for last 4 years. Certainly open to ideas. Thanks guys....this is a great site.
