ok, if i drive my tII hard and turn left, the car bogs down and stops moving all together but doesnt stall or anything. it's only on left turns though, because i tried pushing it hard going right and it was fine. im pretty sure it's a fuel problem, but i was wondering what might cause that to happen.

i remembering seeing a thread similar to this a little while ago and tried searching, but apparentally searching isn't my specialty. sorry boys.

 

Is this with a specific amount in the tank, or all the time?

 

Try changing the fuel strainer/sock that it on the end of the pump.

 

It baffles me.. Sorry I had to say it.

I'd check the pump since it's only on left turns.

 

Covered in the FAQ for FC sticky thread found at the top of this section

 

Agree, Pump/Sock. Probably sock. had similar issue a while back.

 

awesome, my fd fuel pump just came in today so i'll put it in and see what it does.

thanks guys

 

I'm replacing the fuel sock on my 90. May as well replace my 32 year old fuel pump while I'm down there.

I noticed this bogging problem after I started using Idemetsu Premix. Does using Premix negatively affect the fuel sock?

 

Not unless you're running a SIGNIFIGANT amount of premix or it's settling to the bottom (which it should not with regular gasoline)

Def try the sock and new pump first..

I posted that my 89’ convertible stalls only when turning left. It was recommended I fill the fuel tank full. I have not tried it as of yet. Wondering if you have filled or have had the fuel tank filled to the top?

 

Replaced the fuel strainer ( sock ) today. It seemed to have solved the problem. I used Denso part number 952-0043; very sure this is the same as OEM. Fortunate the fasteners holding down the fuel pump was not corroded. The strainer didn't look too bad, but it did have a small hole.
