only when turning left

hello,

i have a second gen. it was an n/a but i converted into a tII have a few mods and i'm having this problem for a really long time and nobody been able to figure it out.
here it is the car acts like it wants to shut off only when i want to make a quick left, it bugs out for a few secs. and then it goes back to normal. i already put a new pump, tps, fuel filter, throttle cable and none fixed the problem i was told by different people that those things were causing the problem so i replaced them but nothing same thing when turning left. also it does this regardless if the tank is full or 1/4 tank. i already looked in faq, and 2 gen specifics, any ideas would be truly appreciated.

thanks

Check the fuel tank baffles.

Also, is your battery tied down? Maybe the cable is rubbing.

In the fuel tank there is a wall surrounding the pump which prevents the fuel from moving away from it during turns. Perhaps yours has come loose?

You changed the "fuel filter". Did you change the fuel sock located on the fuel pump? That has been known to cause the problem you are experiencing.

Check for pinched fuel lines. Its not getting enough fuel for some reason.
