fuel cut-off during corning

[Fastazzevo]

Sometimes when I corner sharply or while autocrossing, the car just falls on its face.. Like the fuel isn't getting to the engine. Or at least this is what I think.. as soon as the car gets straight again bam, runs fine.....

I was thinking that maybe because fuel was low that if it shifted to right that the pump is on the left that the pump wasn't getting fuel, but I have right now over a 1/4 tank, and still even , the pump should be able to work during angle/G's up to a very low amount of fuel.

Any help/guidance is appreciated.

If push comes to shove, you can rig up a fuel pressure gauge at the banjo fitting and monitor the actual pressure. If your pressure stays up, then likely another problem exists. Getting the adapters to fit the banjo and the gauge will be somewhat of a scavanger hunt.

Good Luck

Hard left sweepers used to always cause fuel cut out at 1/4 tank or lower in my car. The fuel all sloshes away from the pickup and it sucks air.

really ,, crap!

I guess its the age of the car... my evo won't do this...


any fixes..... other than keeping 1/2 tank or more in there.

You have to build a custom fuel system with a fuel sump, or weld a sump on the stock tank and run one or two pumps from there. That still requires a fuel system upgrade.
