So I've had my type s now for about 5 months, and a problem just started occurring.
So 2 weeks ago, my gas gauge was the lowest I've let it get, about 1/8th of a tank, the gas light wasn't on, but i've never let the tank get below 1/4th tank ever. The car stalled 3 times in traffic in about 10 minutes. Once while stopping, another while accelerating from a stop, and once while cruising along in 6th at 40. Once I got onto the highway and was cruising at 70 in 6th it didn't stall the entire 15 minute drive. I stopped, filled up. and it didn't stall anymore.
Today, again, gas gauge below 1/4th, has yet to stall. I fill up with 93 at the local shell. Always topping the tank off to the brim. As I'm pulling away, the car stalls. Start it back up, has yet to stall, but for some reason I feel like its lacking a bit. Not sure if I'm just paranoid as it still chirps into 2nd but the lower rpms seem to be lacking some power.
No check engine light. Battery and alternator were checked, alternator good, battery reading 12.7 volts. Idle is steady at ~600-700.
My guess is a fuel filter or pump being clogged? Or maybe a lot of debris in the tank? I hate to start throwing money at the problem and would like some definitive help.
