Re: A V-6 FI Poser

George:

Sounds like the fuel is running out of  the fuel system (lines, pump . . 
.) Check the system integrity, could be a pinhole. Back in the '70's my 
'66 Chevy Byscane with a hot rod 283 had the symptoms you are 
describing. Mechanical Fuel pump's diaphram was bad and on the hill fuel 
would leak out. If the fuel pump got reprimed the car would run. That is 
it did until the pump totally failed.

Good Luck,
