Hello again I have a 00' xlt that has been giving me trouble once i get to a quarter tank of gas. about 3 months ago i had the fuel pump, spark plugs, and fuel filter replaced because i was running lean and the car wouldnt start. I also cleaned the MAF, IAC valve, and crankshaft position sensor. Now I am getting about 230-240 miles up until I reach a quarter tank. Once I dip below when coming to a stop the engine shudders and feels like its going to die (and sometimes does) almost exactly the same feeling as if i were running out of gas (i know the feeling ) so now everytime i hit a quarter i fill it back up and everything is fine, but when i fill it up its between 15-17 gallons without fail. what is happening with the remaining 4-6 gallons of gas i have left? is my fuel pump weak or has it something to do with the fuel lines or pressure regulator? thank you in advance for your help.
