g-van problem
Sent to Car Experts March 16 10:44 AM

my ’91 chevy G-van will start after several days sitting,
but after a couple minutes on the road, it acts like it
wants to stall, sometimes does, then seems impossible to
start back up again. When it does start up again as soon
as i put it in drive, it stalls again. of course, i have
worn down the battery. Could this be the fuel filter ?

 Yes, it could be a fuel filter, among many other things. I would change the filter just to eliminate that as a possibility but you going to have to test fuel pressure at the time it is failing if the filter doesn't help. A bad fuel pump is more common to those symptoms.
