It sounds like it could be your Fuel pump. 200 1987

I second the look at the fuel pump.

You may be able to clear up the problem by filling up the tank - when the transfer pump is faulty or disconnected, the main pump can suck the fuel by itself, but when the level gets low it can cause problems like you describe.

I just had to re-connect the electrical connection to my (new) in-tank pump the other day. On the wagon, lift the flat storage area door and unscrew the two mounting screws. You can then lift the floor piece away from the body of the car which exposes the wiring harness to the in tank pump. Make sure it is getting voltage and is connected.


Of course this isn't the only possiblity, and the other suggestions such as clogged fuel filter or failing main pump shouldn't be overlooked.

Good luck...

-Steve
