so i have this problem, and have had this problem for a while, where when i have a quarter tank of gas or less and make a left turn going faster than 10-20 mph, the engine dies. Then after less than a second, it comes back, full throttle.
it also does this when i accelerate real fast and am low on gas (not empty, or close to empty, just low). it has also done it when i have a full tank, which seems to throw out the theory that the gas sloshes around so much that it runs out of fuel. Any ideas? My theory: something wrong with the fuel pump, but what do i know. Most likely, it will be some gremlin in the wiring that i will spend months looking for and never find. |
pull the pump out of the tank and have a look, its not hard to do

Yeah check the Filter screen on the pick up of the pump. Mine did the same thing and the screen was really dirty. I cleaned it and it worked fine after that.
|
cool, thanks for the tips, i'll have to try this out
|
Could it possibly be a clogged fuel filter? (my friend with a mustang 5.0 suggested that, but he drives a ford, so what does he know? lol)

If you need any help with how to get to the fuel pump let me know. |
your fuel gauge may not be accurate...
fuel level maybe lower than indicated.... |
my engine cut off recenlty during a very hard left...but then turned right on again. I remember this happened to my friend in virginia...and he bought a new foam filter from mazda that sits at the bottom of the fuel pump.
I did the same this week and stopped by the dealer to order one. It was $10. should solver your problems https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png |
