When it starts and then dies does it start right up after you run the glow cycle again? Or does it require a lot of cranking no matter how much you "glow"? Does your fuel tank get a vaccuum on it after long trips? Does it ever go on long trips? Do you baby it or do you drive it like you stole it? Are all of the clamps snug on all of the fuel lines? Is this the same car with the leaky fuel filter banjo bolt? Does the car start and stay running better if you pump the primer on the injector pump a couple dozen times? Has there ever been veggie oil in the main fuel tank?
