I think I've finally nailed down the problem. Today I drained the fuel tank (sort of) and pulled the tank strainer. After getting a 2 gallon fuel shower, I found that the strainer was full of SH&%! Looks like algae to me. I cleaned it and reinstalled it, then filled the fuel tank to capacity. I also added Star Tron additive by Starbrite. I use their products on my boat with good results. It is suppose to disperse bacteria and algae, stabilize fuel chemistry, and treats water in fuel. After getting all the air out of the lines, it still ran a little rough. It still acts like it's starving for fuel. I think the strainer is clogging up again. Man I hope that stuff clears the rest of the algae out. I really don't want to do this again. By the way, the car runs great when I switch to the Greasecar tank.
