PLEASE HELP!!
When I'm driving down the road, or sometimes right when I take off, my vette feels like it is running out of gas. This happens with a full tank or at any other fuel level. When I come to a stop, it sometimes cuts off and it takes me a few times to get it to start again. I usually have to give it a little gas for it to start back. This sounds like a fuel problem so I changed the fuel filter. I thought it did the trick but it started acting up again a few days later. I only use 92 octane so that shouldn't be the problem. I was thinking of having the fuel injectors cleaned along with the entire fuel system. Any tips on my problem? Any certain place I should take it to have it cleaned? Thanks in advance for your help. :confused:

You don't happen to have a fuel pressure gauge you can connect to the schreader valve do ya? If you can beg borrow or steal :nono: one, tape it to the winsheild and replicate the start stops-driving. See where the needle stays(or goes). At least that will help rule out or narrow down things. Sounds like fuel pump :confused:

Does it die off at full throttle? I had this problem once and it was the fuel pump.

When I'm at full throttle, it is fine, runs smooth and hard. When I'm just cruising, that's when it acts up; whenever I don't have my foot in the gas.
