Have you check your fuel lines? Make sure that they
are not crimped or impeded in any way. This might
also make your fuel system work on overload. But, I
think that you might have mentioned this also. And
you checked that they were clear and free. Hmmm! Have
you checked a vacuum line or switch? Check your fuel
psi also. Is yours a sealed system. Sometimes if the
gas cap in not tightened down enough, it will cause
your fuel system to overload it self. When you
tighten your gas cap, take it down all the way, then
continue till you hear three clicks or more.
Sometimes this is all that you need to do and if you
take it into the dealer, they will only do this and
charge you an arm and a leg for doing it. In doing
so, you will be sealing your fuel system. Sometimes
this is the real culprit and not a expensive/time
consuming one.
