[QUOTE="TJExcalibur, post: 138505, member: 189039"] :) I had a very simlar problem on a Cavalier years ago. The garage never fixed it after 3 goes and the AA refused to do a call out again. I went through the whole system and found a minute filter on the carb inles after removing the inlet union. Last year on my old Prarie I called out the RAC twice on a visit to sisters 100 miles away. The fuel filter was filthy, gave it a clean each time but it soon gummed up again. Om arriving home I asked a mechanic mate and he said dirty fuel. Emptied the tank, replaced the filter and flushed the line through. Fine since then. Could be either or water in the fuel for which I'm told, you can get an additive to evaopate it. [/QUOTE]
