 Just had this too. See story on 311s.org site under "Pop Quiz" and see what it 
turned out to be. It was simple but I thought it was going to be worse.

Morning all. 

I took the 2000 out Saturday for a quick run to see check a few things. 

The car was not running hot but I now need to clean out the brake lines.

However, I have a more pressing concern. This has happened only a couple times 
and (obviously) not every time. When driving down the road I started to lose 
power and the idle was rough (with the clutch in and coasting down the road). 
First time this happened I turned off the motor and let the car sit for a few 
minutes. She started up and was fine. Last Saturday when this happened I pulled 
off the road and didn't shut her down. I just sat for a minute or so then she 
was fine. 

Am I boiling the gas in the line somehow and thus starving the carbs? If so 
what 
is the fix for this?

Or do I maybe have a clogged filter or crap in the fuel line? This one I can 
deal with. I think.

I wanted to get some input from you folks out there before I started to tear 
into stuff. 

TIA
