Does anyone elses car do this?
When i have below 1/4 tank of gas and i take a right hand turn the car will begin to spudder and in some casses under extreme turns will stall out. I had the fuel pump replaced n that didnt help is there something else i could do to fix this like some sort of aqumulator?

Keep your tank 1/2 full. On these cars, 1/2 full really means 1/4 full, and 1/4 full really means 1/8 full. What is happening is you are pulling the little bit of fuel away from the pickup. No fuel to the engine means dead engine. The other problem that arises is that you may run the mixture dangerously lean and FUBAR something.

If mine has less than 1/4 tank, it'll starve the fuel pump on a tight turn too. Be careful, it's hard on the pump and I'm sure you know what a pain it is to replace one. Just do like I do and fill it when it gets to 1/4 tank.

yeah the pumps are a pain in the ***. Id do that if knew how much gas i have. Guage is screwed up. I think i messed up the sender whenever i change the pump. I usually keep it about half tank tho. it hasnt ran for a month so i havent had to worry about it for awhile.
