Yesterday I went for a 25 mile ride. The last 5 miles was 4 lane road and I cruised along at 45 mph. Car ran great.
Pulled up to the garage, let it idle with the e-brake on (slight uphill grade) while I got out and opened the garage door.
By the time the door was open the engine stopped. Wouldn't restart - run a couple seconds when choked and the accelerator pumped, then die.
Thought I may have flooded it so I waited an hour and tried again. Same result - run a few seconds and die.
Pushed it in the garage.
Fuel bowl is full and the Wix 33039 filter looks clean - about 300 miles since I changed it.
I'll let you know what I find. Might work on it tomorrow.
