the other night i was comin home, and shifted into 2nd. the car hesitated, then went. thought that was strange. then it did it in every gear. well i was low on gas, so i filled up, and the problem was gone. well i got low on gas last night, and it started it again. i filled up, and its runnin fine. i’m guessin its somethin to do with the fuel system, perhaps a clogged fuel filter or mabye a bad fuel pump. anyone have any ideas? ---

you wait till theres 0 pressure in the line (as per the gauge) then you slowly crack the fitting free and wait till it stops leaking ---

> _Originally posted by BlueMeanieTSi_ > **you wait till theres 0 pressure in the line (as per the gauge) then you slowly crack the fitting free and wait till it stops leaking** i wish i had a fuel pressure guage ☹ well in theory cracking the fitting and waiting til the gasoline slowly drains out is the same thing as bleeding the line. its jsut you have to go about it in a different way:confused: ---
