"My engine cuts out when turning, but there is plenty of gas... whats wrong?"

Hi Everyone,

I've currently ran into a similar issue with this having trying take harder turns at high rpms and my rpms would cut, I am not sure how old the FAQ is but wanted to see if anyone has actually used the dodge 2009-10 fuel pump that is listed within the FAQ for this? Possibly other suggestion that I should check as well would be helpful, I have a 1991 NA any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Bobo

Is it both left and right turns or just left turns? I had had an issue with getting fuel starvation during hard left turns, turns out the in tank fuel sock was clogged. Replaced it and problem gone.

usually it leads to a clogged fuel sock on the pump(in tank)
Another thing is that IF the battery is not tied down it can short out on the hood.(it's happened and has been posted on here..somewhere)

I third the fuel sock. Had mine doing the same thing around last November, changed that, have had no problems since. I'd suggest also changing the inline filter near the engine along with it. Mine was almost all gummed up due to how bad the gas was that was coming through the filter.

On a side note, I was having a similar issue and assumed the fuel sock as well but it was fine. It turns out I had a wiring issue to my MAP sensor, the wires were so badly corroded and loose that they were shifting slightly on left turns which caused the MAP reading to read way off briefly. It was enough to feel like a total fuel cut momentarily, and then snap back to normal.

There is also a baffle in the tank surrounding the pump pickup. I have seen and heard of them detaching.
