Yeah, sounds exactly like a clogged fuel pump. Here's why. Returnless Fuel Pump Exposed! ...Ed

Too bad im too late...same thing was happening to me, car was bugging out at high rpm, I thought i was just hitting the fuel shutoff as it was usually when racing. One day, started bucking like mad around 4k rpm, then a few blocks later at around 2500, then anything above idle...then I was on the side of the road waiting for a tow truck lol!

Hi, Something is escaping me here. If your regular fuel filter attached to the side of the tank was "clogged" and was causing fuel starvation or flow issues...what then do the THREE filters inside the tank look like??? You show you have a 2K SVT which has a returnless system and the additional "filter disc" on the bottom of the sump. Having had these filters in my hand, I am in disbelief that enough dirt could have gotten past this primary filter disc, past the secondary filter sock on the pump itself and, past the tiny "injector" style" filter insert in the end of the pump discharge tube to sufficiently clog the external filter to cause a problem!!!! There must be some other "mysterious force" at work here!  Help anyone??? ...Ed
