Stalling during "spirited driving"

Im new here, and didnt know where I should post this. I have a 1985 Camaro, When I attempt to do donuts, the car promptly quits after one full rotation. I was told it would be the tip/rollover sensor, I dont know where to find this, it would be helpful if someone knows. Thanks

Well I have a reason it isnt a tip/rollover sensor. My car is now hesitating when taking off, it doesnt even spin the tires anymore. Im thinking it may be the fuel pump or something else wrong with the fuel delivery.

could be a pump on the way out or even just the filter.

Though it could be about a million others too...
