Hey y’all,
1984 mighty max 2.3 4d55t
I’m new to the forum, but I’ve been lurking here trying to gather info for awhile. I’ve been trying to diagnose a fuel starvation issue, or that’s what I think it is anyway. The truck would run decent for different periods of time, 20-45 minutes, then would begin to sputter and die out. I recently replaced the fuel tank because there was loads of rust and gunk built up inside of it. That seemed to help a bit, but I still get starvation issues under WOT in third which will cause the truck to die after 3-4 seconds of WOT. I was debating putting an in line transfer pump from the tank to the filter housing. I wanted to ask the greater knowledge base here for advice and direction. Thanks in advance!

I run a 60 gph electric pump between the fuel tank and the fuel filter. Haven't had a single problem with that setup

Awesome thanks for the reassurance, I’ll be ordering a pump today!
