Fuel starvation?

(1/4) > >>

BigSi:
Quick one for you guys. Driving along and engine almost stalls, seems like fuel starvation or something. Pull over, engine idles normally, but tries to stall what pedal is pressed quickly.

What could cause fuel starvation, and what can I check this weekend (filters etc)?  :-k  :-k  :-k  :-k

ChrisV8:
Diesel or petrol ?

If it's diesel, could be air in system or blocked fuel filter or water in fuel filter.

If its petrol God knows if you have mega elecktrickery someone will be along soon !

BigSi:
Petrol 1986 3.5 Ltr V8 (flapper).

extreme90:
dont do v8's, but fuel pump's ?
blocked pick up in tank ?
fuelfilter

if you nock it off,leave for 10 mins or so and try again is it fine ?
that would say something is obstructing in the tank

Disco-Ron:
Are the fuel lines far enough away from heat..... could be fuel vapourising in the fuel pipe......
