Good day to all!!!

Newbie po ako to this forum. This is the story of my ride.

The abovementioned car was an "inheritance" from my brother to my wife. He left this country to work abroad 2 years ago. The car was in terrible condition when we got it. The most striking "feature" was that when the fuel gauge read half tank, you have to fill it up right away; otherwise, you would experience a "feeling that you don't have anymore gas" syndrome. He mentioned that he replaced some part of the electrical system and the fuel pump with surplus parts. The fuel pump he put in belonged to that of a nissan bluebird.

I had a bad experience of driving it 2 weeks ago. I stalled along roxas-blvd nr quirino after experiencing loss of power at 1st and 2nd gear. I pressed the gas pedal but could not get any rev higher than 2. I had the fuel tank drained, the fuel lines cleaned, the fuel filter replaced and the ignitor replaced (this was the mechanics recommendation). The tank gauge now reads 1/4 before empty and I can floor the pedal but the same syndrome still persists. Even worse was that the battery I installed only last january conked out so i had it recharged. I havent installed it yet for fear it may conk out again.

Sorry for the long story but here are my queries:

1) Could the cause of my trouble be electrical related or fuel related?
2) In your experience, what could be the other probable culprit for this syndrome, having done the above works?
3) Any mechanic you can recommend to do the work and the estimated budget for this? I live in the LP area.

I wish I could dispose of the car but I'm not the owner so thats out of the question Hoping to hear from you guys the soonest!!!

PEACE !!!
