| 2001 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | STARTING AT ABOUT 39,000 MILES (OCTOBER, 2002), WHENEVER MY CAR HAD A QUARTER TANK OR LESS OF GAS, THE CAR WOULD START CHOKING AND FEEL LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL. IF I STOPPED AND LET THE CAR SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES, IT WOULD BE OK FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS CONTINUED AFTER I HAD THE FUEL FILTER REPLACED, AND A MECHANIC COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. IT HAS HAPPENED AT MANY SPEEDS, BUT MOST OFTEN WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. TODAY, AT 49,000 MILES, I HAVE MORE THAN HALF A TANK OF GAS, GOING ABOUT 35 MPH, AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. *NLM |
