fuel related problem need some input
I have a 2001 Z06. Sometimes the car acts like it is running out of gas.
Even when there is gas in the tank. if I put in Gas like today (5gal) it stops.
It seems to do it more often when you are cruising on the freeway for say 20 miles and then it will start. Once it starts it does get worse the longer you drive it. After sitting over night it could be fine the next morning and then start it again in the afternoon.
I've done some searches but couldn't find anything like this
Thanks

Sure sounds like a plugged fuel filter to me-good starting point anyway.
Unless you have changed the filter recently yourself,it could very well be the original,and definitely due for a change.

I would definitely start with a fuel filter change. You can't go wrong with that.
