I figure since you all are so technically inclined regarding audio - and you are about my age - you might just know something about cars ....
My vintage car - yep ... just like my audio gear -old-..., keeps stalling after 5 minutes run time and won't immediately start again. It doesn't matter if it is warm or cold, just run time. After about 30 minutes, the car starts right up. This started happening after I let the car sit in the garage all winter. I wanted to take it out today for a spin. Started up....backed out...a few minutes later. dies.....There is about 1/4 tank of Shell gas in the tank. I usually run it down an 1/8th so I keep cycling with fresher gasoline.
Can a bad fuel filter cause this? The filter is relatively new, but unchanged since I replaced the fuel injectors a year ago. The car was running fine then.
Has anyone experienced this and changed the fuel filter and problem went away?
Additional info: 1983 280zx turbo. Run once a month or so except over the winter.
