The engine stalls (but still runs) under acceleration and revs remain above 15,000 rpm when the clutch pedal is depressed. I have replaced both the fuel pump and filter recently but no change to problem which indicates other causes. The previous fuel when flushed in reverse did not show excessive dirt in fuel. sounds like my problems, and one other in this post - in addition my fuel gauge quit and I have trouble filling with gas as the hose keeps popping out - these things all started around the same time - really would like some solutions !!! - etcsaltsprin
Your gas tank must of been crushed,in some kind of offroad incident because if you can't fill it up the filler tube must be kinked.Or the pollution system is faulty such as the purge valve or vapor canister.

two mechanics did - changed fuel filter, checked spark plugs and O2 sensor - it seems my car and the computers don't play well together.
Yes, it has taken this long, but my car is finally running like a top. It seems there was a hole in some hose, or connection, which was letting dirt (lots of it) into the fuel tank. They replaced the tank, and voila, everything now works - the car, the fuel gauge, filling and all. (By the way, somewhere along the line one of the "mechanics" hack-sawed a "V" in my exhaust system - evidently checking something-or-other in an otherwise sound pipe. So another guy fixed that for me... ) ;-) Thanks for all the advice.
glad it worked out,regards!
1. The fuel pump was changed after receiving bad advice.
2. Sorry for the typo I actually meant 1,500 rpm.
3. I did attempt to scan for problem codes (i.e. CHECK ENGINE) but the plug in point seems dead.
4. I however removed the fuel tank and cleaned it as the fuel appeared to be murky in appearance (which I later discovered to be fine dust particles). Fuel filter was changed and problem seams to be solved.
5. What I can't understand is how-come the engine revs remain at 1,500 rpm with a partially blocked fuel filter. Is it because the computer is compensating for the reduced fuel flow?
1-why did u change fuel pump?2-engine revs up to 15,000rpm......!or is it 1500rpm3-u still did not say what trouble codes your mech. scanned!
did u scan it for problem codes?
