Topic: Fuel filter issue?, Maybe?..

[Nicole8045]

So Im hoping this is something simple but heres the issue,

I start the truck (88 toyota 22r w/efi head), put it in first (although it does it in any gear), and it lugs like its running out of gas but keeps going and definentally has gas in the tank. Then out of no where it will die. It likes to die every few hundred yards, sometimes it will start right back up, sometimes it takes about 30 sec for it to offically turn over. Its only done this for about 3 days now, I bought a new fuel filter and havent put it in yet, just wanted to hear if this sounds familiar to anyone.

Any input is appreciated.

What happens if you rev it in neutral? Throw the new filter in, that should only take a couple minutes. You can always pull the fuel line off the pump and crank the motor afew times to see what comes out. It should gush out! not trickle But be careful where you aim it!

Ill give it a try, And at first i thought if i just coasted and didnt get on the gas that things would be fine, so i tried it and it died just coasting downhill so I dont know, I did rev it in neutral though and it didnt kill itself. But I plan on putting the fuel filter on tomorrow, I heard it was easy to do, but it looks like its in a hard to get spot under my starter. But like i said hopefully ill have it done tomorrow and i hope it is whatever the issue is . Thank you for the advice though, ill  give that a try .
