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.
