Running like it's out of gas Sign up here! Search this forum this category all forums for All words Any words Whole Phrase (search options) Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Car Troubleshooting mtneer Novice Feb 28, 2010, 5:10 PM Post #1 of 4 (2457 views) Running like it's out of gas Sign In 1975 Ford F-150 - V8 I recently replaced the carburetor and fuel filter. I took it for a drive and it ran fine for about a mile. After I turned around to head back, it began running like it was out of gas, sputtering and got worse when you gave it gas. It ran like this for about a mile then died. It started back up and ran fine back to the house. After I got it back to the house I turned it off and let it sit for a while. I took the gas hose off the carb and started it up quickly to check the fuel pump and it was pumping gas fine. Does anybody have any ideas what could be causing it to run like it did? All input is very much appreciated. Thanks!

If so fine then check for fuel pressure of about 4-6 PSI. If before the filter, filter could be clogged especially at the age and I think only a small filter used wouldn't take much junk to clog it, T mtneer Novice Feb 28, 2010, 7:41 PM Post #3 of 4 (2451 views) Re: Running like it's out of gas Sign In Thanks. I did not check for fuel flow after the filter. The filter was replaced with the carb. Before replacing the carb, I removed the tank, drained the gas, and cleared the lines. The gas coming from the fuel pump is clean, but I guess something could still be in the line. I will check the fuel pressure.

I recall adding in line larger filters, well thought out where to place them that could deal with more, before the OE one would help a problematic situation if that's the issue at all, T   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
