[DML] Re: lost power

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

How much fuel did you have in the fuel tank at the time? If it was
below 1/2 tank maybe you have a problem inside. I would remove the
fuel pump and inspect the fuel pick-up hose. It should not be soft
(easy to collapse under vacuum) and it shouldn't have any kinks or
holes. The baffles should be attached correctly and not moving around
inside. The symptoms you describe could have been caused by fuel
starvation. When you accelerated onto the highway all the fuel moved
away from the pick-up. After sitting still it started. If you actually
ran out of fuel (or just ran very low) your fuel gauge may not be
reading right. You may have to replace the fuel tank sending unit
which is on the top of the tank near the pump. The origional is
failure-prone and inaccurate.
