    Default Help - stranded

    Stopped for lunch and I ended up stranded.

    Engine will start up and idle really rough at about 300 rpm for a few seconds then die. No tools here so I will probably call for a tow.

    Any idea what the problem could be with this small amt of info?

    Towed to my local indy. Off the tow truck and it fired right up. Typical.

    Default Here's a place to start:

    Yours is similar to what mine did when my fuel pump went out.

    Although mine had a sudden drop in power while driving after turning a corner. I had it towed home and I could still restart it that night, but had trouble getting over a rough idle. Next morning she was gone.
