[QUOTE="JerryW Gilliland, post: 785895, member: 66234"] I had a Toyota Supra back in the 80's. Gas was scarce, as it is now, and ''gasohol" came into vogue. Some stations only had it and no regular gas. Reluctantly I filled up with the stuff. About half way through the tank, my car started doing what yours is doing. I'd let it sit for a little while and it would start up...for a while. Finally, I took it to the dealership and they diagnosed it right away. It seems the alchol in the gas dissoved some of the gaskets etc which clogged the filter and sending unit in the gas tank. They dropped the tank, replaced needed parts here and there and it was as good as new. The foreman told me not to ever put gasohol in it again. Could you have possibly fueled up with the E-10 (unleaded plus) they're selling now? But it does sound like a fuel problem to me. I'm no mechanic, but I play one on TV. :lol: [/QUOTE]
