so i bought my 88 323 back in march.
theres no telling how long the car has been sitting up til' i purchased it.
as soon as i got home i did a tune up
plugs, wires, air filter, fuel filter but not cap and rotor
a few says later it started to stutter a little her and there and progressively got worse
so i pulled the fuel filter out and it was dropping out muddy lake water
so i replaced it again........and again.........
and now its stuttering again...
so i need to just go ahead and but new fuel line from the tank to the injectors?
or just drop the tank:( and clean EVERYTHING:thinking:

reps givin....not like ill make a difference

Yeah I definitely would check the tank...gas tanks, if metal, tend to rust if sitting for a good while...also you have changed the gas in the tank right?

clean the tank really good. an take a air hose to the fuel line and blow all that crap out.
