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.

maybe ted knows

 

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.
