Quick question:

When going around corners (and only then) My fuel starts to cut, kindof when your low on gas and your car is looking for gas and not finding it. What can i do to fix this.

Since it's only on turns.. check if your gas tank is buldged/deformed, causing fuel to pool in a certain area away from the pickup.

only in first gear?

uiuc240 · 05-06-2003, 08:38 AM

hehehe. sorry about that first one.

check for loose electrical connections. start with the ones for the fuel pump. check for bad wires at the same time. then move on to the other fuel/ignition components.

i know that's vague, but that's about all you can hope for over the internet.
