Volks,

I recently had some engine work done and they also replaced the alternator.

Got the truck back and it had a new symptom: The engine quit when it was
between cold and warm up (about one minute post cold start and 5 minutes of
running time). It did this consistently.

Funny thing is it only does this when low on fuel. Full tank, even half
tank, no issue.

I also ran out of gas because the gauge reads differently with the new
alternator (or cleaner contacts as has been posted on the list in the past),
but I thought it stalling was due to the symptom. But it was happening, even
with a gallon plus (about 30 miles worth) of fuel still in the tank.

My question is: is this symptom indicative of a fuel pump ready to die or a
dirty fuel filter?

Does anyone's WBX stall when low on fuel and warming up, even though there
is still a gallon of fuel in the tank?

I now it's a weird one, but feedback appreciated,

Kim
