My '85 GSL-SE has some type of fuel problem, which I don't have time to fix myself, but I want to be able to depend on it this Spring and Summer.

Anyone recommend a shop that can clean the tank and diagnose/fix whatever else is wrong?

For the past several years, I've driven the car very little each summer, gotten mad and parked it for another year. Each time I drive for around an hour or more, the car starts to stutter/buck and then finally dies. After sitting for about an hour it starts easily and drives normally.

Thanks for any recommendations that'd get me back into my RX!
John

Welcome. I don't have any recommendations for a shop, but I may have some input on the problem.

If you think the fuel tank needs cleaning, than your best bet is to pull it and take it to a radiator shop for cleaning. I know you said you didn't want to work on it yourself but it is easy to remove.

This is a great article on GSL-SE fixes: http://www.nellump.net/peri/epi/firstGenTechs/gslseIdle.html

Thanks for the offer Chris, it'll be a month or so until I can get to this.
