I have an 87 Buick Park Avenue. Lately, I've been having a problem with the fuel (I think). It was completely out of gas when I bought it less than 2 months ago, I put some in (filled, have not put in more since, still have 3/4 tank) and it was fine. Then, over time, it started to shake and act like it would die. This became worse and it would die, but start right back up and drive ok for awhile. Then, it worsened till it would die, start, and immediately die again. We changed to fuel filter, but think there was crud in the tank still. Now, after replacing the filter, I let it run for about 15 minutes in idle, and have driven it less than 12 miles. Tonight, it started fine, then after a bit began to sputter and act like it would die, eventually did and restarted. A few minutes later, it sputtered and died, and when I started it, it would immediately die again. Do I need to change the filter again (sucked more crud from the tank), or what else could it be?
