Went to the office for a couple of minutes this morning. Came out, got in, started normally. About a mile down the road, going up a grade, everything died, sputtering, nursed it along until I could safely get it over to the side. Fuel filter almost empty. No more fuel being pulled in. Looks like another short downtime.

Oh. I didn't mention that this was in a driving rain storm. Great Saturday Morning.

Same thing just happened to me. Wife towed me back home 7 miles on dirt roads with a 15 foot tow rope. THAT was exciting! Turned out my tank has plenty of varnish from sitting for 20 years and the varnish clogged my electric pump filter. I imagine it will happen a few more times at least, so I carry my tools and spare filter. Good luck. Victor.

It must be in the weather , I just posted this . The fuel pump from a RX-7 that is NOT INJECTED works great I got mine from a '79 . $15.00 but be sure that the RX was not injected most important. :classic:

I don't know what the hell happened, but the fuel system checked out fine and it starts without problem now. :classic: Oh well , got a badly pulling right rear brake drum turned, so I can now hit my brakes without fear of swinging in to the lane to the right of me.LOL

I just had the same problem on the way to work this morning, the car starting running like a bag of s#$t then toatally stopped. i got out, quickly checked over the fuel system, everything looked ok, it started up fine and i drove it the rest of the way. what the hell is going on???
