Just recently bought the vehicle listed above that was garaged and hardly driven. It ran great at idle and on the road for about 70 miles pre-purchase. I completed the purchase and flat-towed home. The vehicle ran great the first day, then I needed fuel (empty). I topped off the tank at Costco and drove rest of day for another 2.5 hours in the city just fine. Next morning, I warmed up the vehicle and it idled great. Driving it sputtered a lot and barely went over 30 MPH. I stopped and purchased Seafoam Motor Treatment and a new fuel filter. Added Seafoam and installed new filter. Vehicle still sputters. The previous owner stated he never filled the gas tank up past 1/4 tank so fuel would not go bad. I don't know if fueling and the sputtering are related. That was the only significant event before sputtering started. Suggestions?
