cuts out and dies at temp

[xirdneh]

i did not see anything about the dist cap
just wondering
did you check the two graphite contact plungers in the dist cap
fixed a friend's tercel last week
it was cutting out now and then
sometimes it would not start very well
the plugs had spark but not enough

So today I bypassed the fuel tank with small gas can and the car drove around fine. The fuel filter is rather new and the fuel pump is also only a couple months old. I put a new filter on and hooked up the gas tank. This time the car ran for almost a half hr before starting to stall out I popped the hood and the filter was bone dry so I'm guessing that the tank has a clog or fuel pump is week. Cloged tank is more likely when I got this car originally the lines were totally clogged had to use an air compressor on hard lines at 120 psi to clear them I thought that I cleaned the tank well but I guess not. Any suggestions on how to clean tank without having to drop tank.

Runs like a champ again. I dropped the tank and the fuel pickup screen was full of chunks of rust from blowing the line out backwards six months ago.I am amazed it has driven around for the last six months withought issue WOW.
Got another screen at pick&pull and changed all fuel lines. So happy I can put this one to bed.

looks like you solved the problem. For future reference, You could inspect the inside of the tank and the fuel pick-up without removing the tank through the hatch on the floor of the after cargo compartment (under the carpet). You can look inside the tank with a flash light. dropping the tank is not too difficult after you have it drained.
