Default 96 Cobra SVT keeps stalling HELP

I have had the module replaced, and it is not overheating, but the temprature gauge does fluctuate a little bit. Had the fuel filter and sending unit checked (supposedly). The only other thing I can think of is the fuel tank has water in it. Any ideas?????? My mechanic is killing me! It dies while I drive down the road, not every time usually below a 1/4 of a tank of gas. I push in clutch and it starts right back up and it has died as I was slowing down and won't start back up and acts like it's not getting gas. Would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks

What do you mean the fuel filter was "checked"? I would go and buy a new one along with a new PCV valve and then see where you're at. Also, it'd be a good idea to toss a bottle of Lucas fuel system cleaner into your gas tank to dry out any moisture or varnish you have in your fuel lines.

Rendy,

When I bought my 96' @ 3 years ago - it needed a sending unit/fuel pump assy. because it was doing something similiar - It would be out of gas at quarter tank !! ?? Had it replaced a few days after I bought it, been fine ever since.

so when you slowed down, it would about to die but once you pushed the clutch in, it woud be fine? if you don't push it in, it dies right? do you have a CAI on it?

Mine was doing this and cleaning the IAC stopped it.

Default Out of gas

It's running out of gas. My 97 does the same at about 1/4 tank. If I keep the gas gauge above that, everything is fine. You're not actually running out of gas, but your car reads that way.

PEACE
