Yesterday Merlin 2021 answered a question at 3:32 edt. Still have the problem and suspect fuel quality.
Car starts and idles fine, as soon as 1500+ RPM is hit it sputters and stalls. After 24 hrs sitting started up and went to 4000 rpm and held with no problem if it were exhaust obstruction this would not have happened would it? Put in 17 gals of high end fuel and the problem is back! I'm thinking water went to top of tank fuel, car ran fine, then new fuel in mixed all up and now impurities are causing problem again. So, do you think I'm right that it must be fuel? If so how can I SAFELY remove aprox 18 gallons from a tank with a syhon defense in the filler neck?
I need resonse by Mon noon.
