My 89 stumbles on the last 2 gallons iof gas in the tank. Changed the pump, press is ok. Fill up, runs great! Any thoughts?
 
Welcome To The Corvette Action Center keatesja!

First off, glad to have you with us! :upthumbs

Secondly, because you're relatively new here, I state my caveat about running the gasoline tank low with an in-tank fuel pump; It is not a good thing to run your tank too low on fuel. The gasoline acts to keep the pump cool, and if you run the level down far enough the pump's lifespan will be dramatically shortened. Not a good thing. :nono

You may want to check the screen/water separator at the base of the pump; it might be clogged and starving the engine of fuel, causing your "stutter."

What about the main inline filter? You didn't mention changing that. :confused
