Car: 89 740T
Car had been running well until I ran the gas tank to near empty (she took 13.8 gallons when I filled up). This coincided with beginning of new issue for this vehicle. Now the car will start just fine but then it may or may not suddenly die. This will happen while driving down the highway as well as at idle. It seems to be worse when the car is stopped on an incline (had a bitch of time getting up a crowded off ramp the other day). Did I jack up my fuel system by running the tank down so low or could this be another issue that just happened to coincide with nearly running out of gas? If it's a fuel issue what would be the first part to diagnose/replace? Fuel filter? Is there an easy test to do with few tools and apartment living? Thanks in advance!
