Why does car bog out?
 
i was playing around the other day and i went to do a donut the car would get like 3/4 of the way around and it would fall on its face? Has anyone else had this problem?

If you were low on gas, then it was probably fuel slosh.

When was your last tune up?

Fearmywankle 01-22-07 12:31 PM

it was with a little less then half of a tank.

Tire pressure is good.

Last tune up was about a week or 2 ago.

It's fuel starvation. When you spin the car that fast, the fuel goes to one side of the tank. If you have less than half a tank, that will most likely be enough that the fuel pickup cannot get anything, thus the car dying from fuel starvation.
