Dirty Fuel filter/screen symtoms?

[onyx_ZX3]

what are they...my engine will like cut "back" not out or off...then respond after the car settles back to being more level...i am low on gas, the car HAS sat for months...dirty fuel filter? screen near the fuel pump? Anyone had fuel clogged problems?<P>I want to know if the screen in the back is easy to get to, and how to clean it out....(and maybe the actual bottom of the fuel tank too)

Does the problem go away with a full tank of fuel and return only when it's low?<P>If so, then it's time to pull your tank. No, it's not fun. Or you can just live with it, throw some injector cleaner in there, and change your fuel filter more often.
