My 2001 OB just decided it won't start, after years of great reliability. No warning, I just walked out this morning and it acted like it was either out of gas, or a clogged fuel filter. The engine turns over, and as long as I pump the accelerator it sort of chugs along (maybe with an occasional misfire of some sort), but immediately stalls out when I stop pumping the gas. I just replaced the fuel filter so that's not it, and there's plenty of gas. What else could suddenly go south on me to prevent starting, with no warning?

I am trying to remove and replace the piece of dashboard trim that goes right over the glovebox. There are a number of screws that hold it on from behind. I took the glovebox out, but I can't seem to get at all the screws. Has someone figured that out yet? How are you supposed to take that side of the dashboard off? Thanks in advance.
