We have been chasing a sputter/fuel starvation issue all summer. When the car gets hot, it develops a poor running condition and has stalled a couple times. We checked the air fuel ratio and it was lean, so the first step was fatten it up.

That helped but the condition would still pop up occasionally. I found a post on an Opel Gt forum were someone was having the same issue and cured it by heat wrapping some of the fuel lines under the hood. His thought was that the heat was causing a vapor lock issue... worth a shot. We also swapped in a smaller fuel filter, this is a filter we added not an oem filter.

While it was down we also repaired and replaced the trunk trim. Its looking much nicer now.
