Sputtering then stalls
I have a 1988 with about 85k miles. I haven't driven it much because they've been milling roads by where I work (I'm going to be using this as a daily driver) so I didn't want to drive it around there. I poured seafoam in it about 45 minutes ago and started it again. Pretty much the same thing. However, if I hit the gas once it starts sputtering then it's fine. And stays fine. Could this be just dirty injectors?

Could be or just your fuel filter how old is it?

No idea about the fuel filter, so I should probably be cautious and say as old as the car. If it doesn't solve itself when all of this rain ends I'll take a look at it. But swapping the fuel filter for a new one wouldn't be a bad idea either way.
