Very wierd occurance...
 
Sometimes if I take a very tight curve in usually 2nd gear, the car stalls at about 4-5krpm and i'm thrown a bit foward from my seat. It's a total stall! What the hell is going on? Has this ever happened to anybody else? Could it be that there's some type of fuel cut occuring?

I have always had that condition when my gas was below 1/4. I just assumed it was a fuel pickup problem. Does anyone know for sure?

I have it happen when low on gas and doing left hand turns. Going right has no effect. I finaly decided it was the sloshing of fuel. If you look in the gas tank you'd think it should'nt happen because the inlet for the pump seems to be in a baffle that should prevent this. Usually happens like Sureshot said, below a quarter tank.

That sounds like a good guess. I don't know if it's fuel pickup problems, but it's definitely not delivering fuel when it's supposed to.

same thing happens to me when im low on gas. left hand turns espically. one time i was leaving school and i was really low on gas..the light wasnt on or anything yet, but i was really close to a gas station and some girls in a cabrio that are my friends gunned it so i did...i got up too 6k in 2nd and the car totally hesitated just like when im turning really sharp..needless to say i felt embarassed b/c a cabrio beat me...but its ok the driver actually knew about cars and saw that i was almost out of gas so she said i would of killed her..haha o well just an annoyance though.
