I know this thread is 2 1/2 years old BUT ...

Had a car once that would run fine mostly then started the dying while idling trick, Died while cruising intermittently.

But if you romped on it hard it ran fine while accelerating mostly.

Finally found that the Grand Kids were playing around and decided to put two marbles in gas tank!

Marbles rolled to gas tank outlet and stopped flow!

All of this drama IN MY CASE could have been avoided by using a "pencil filter!
