That sorry bitch!, Christine stranded me in Nashville! Options

Okay, as you all know, Christine...aka Resses Cup, friend of Buttercup, left my ass stranded in Tennessee tonight in the middle of no where and all I could hear was banjo Music! I was heading back to Memphis from Nashvile, had just run the hell out of some sweet twisties, I pull into the gas station to wash my windshied. I shut her off, did the windows, get in, fire her up, and before I can put her in gear she quits! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) Fuel pump is working, motor spins good but no starting, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Mess with it awhile, checking things over and soon I have it where the fuel pump no longer kicks in. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) I relax, listen to the banjo music, and finally get the pump working again. I get in, hit the key, she fires right up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Unfortunately I hear a strange noise so I shut her off. Check a few things, hit the key, fires right up again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Sadly I hear the noise again and shut her off. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Do some more checking, look underneath, find nothing so I try to start her up again. FP works, bitch no starts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Repeat all the crap from the first go around with same results so I say screw it and pack up all my stuff. Hit the key and she fires right up again! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) I hop in, take off down the road and get less than a mile before the slut quits again in the middle of pitch darness on the side of a hill. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) As I am working on her in the middle of the highway, one of the "banjo" people show up, he has apparently followed me. Very strange fellow, but that is another whole story in it self. Car runs smooth for a moment, the starts lurching and bucking and cutting out as it did before it quit. I limp it back to a station, call my friend to come get me before the Deliverance boys find me again. I leave car idling for awhile, still not running right. While I am waiting on my friend to show up, banjo boy comes back again (thought I had lost him) but fortunately he doesn't get out of his truck, and finally drives off. Friend shows up, we decide to try and limp it 12 miles back to his house. On the way back she did the same lurching and bucking as before but seemed to get better and better the farther we went. Actually was running pretty decent by the time we got back with the exception of take off and a cut out once in awhile. Thought about heading back again but decided against it. In the morning I am going to swap coil, points, and fuel filter and hope for the best. Seems electrical to me and not fuel, but going to change filter to be sure. Any other ideas, comments or suggestion? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
