i have an 87 t/a and when i make a fast turn (like going aroudn a circle and i'm being a deuche and trying to pass someone) my car will start to 'chug' a bit like its running out of gas...but yet i'll have a full tank, i just replaced my fuel filter...could this be my fuel injectors maybe? i cant quite figure it out

 

probably more like the fuel pump... is it the OEM one?

 

yeah, its still original (just replaced original fuel filter this summer, and about 2 weeks ago, the original spark plug cables, and cap and rotor) but would that do it even though i'd have like a full tank?

 

Weird. You're sure it only happens when you're driving in a circle (or are otherwise causing a reasonable amount of centripetal acceleration)?

Do you have datalogging capabilities?

 

confused

 

What's your question?

 

can you put everything that you just said into an easier to read message? (i.e.: i'm dumb)

 

Lol, sorry.

Does the chugging ONLY occur when you're turning sharply?

Have you ever hooked up to your car's computer and recorded data from it to analyze?

 

it happens when i'm going around a decently sharp turn and going fast, then when i go to knock it down a gear when coming out of a turn it starts to chug then....it seems like its trying to stall out, and no i havent ever locked into the computer when doing this, the only one who can gain access to a scanner in my house is my father from his job and he wouldnt really appreciate me driving like this lol

 

I'm really not sure man. Does your car run fine the rest of the time? Are you getting a "check engine" light?

 

nope the rest of the time its perfectly fine, runs like a charm, just needs a little more power i think, i'm wondering if it has anything to do with the fuel injectors, i mean the pulse is fine on them i'm sure, i took the car to autoshop and ran the scanner and none of the professors had anything to say about the pulse timing....anyway, i just did a tune up, taking off the original wires, cap and gasket, so i'm wondering if maybe original fuel injectors have anything to do with it.....i dunno, i'm still baffled lol thanks though for your help

 

0hm the injectors and see what they turn out to be...

 

but could the injectors really make it seem to not get gas around the turns? like i would have thought the fuel pump too, but the thing is that its on the back right side of the fuel tank (just guessing that because when i floor it, it says that i have more gas than i really do, and when i make a right turn it says it too) but if i go through a sharp right turn, with a full tank and floor it out of the turn then it stilldoes this, ijust replaced the fuel filter this summer, and i suppose if the tank is rusting like hell then it could be the filter again, but it wouldnt make much sense as to why the original held up....i dunno, i'll see if i can get my hands on a scan tool, and rev it up a few times and see if the pulse width is correct, if cant, ill do what you said and check the ohms of them, i suppose i could always take them off and clean them too lol

 

my vote goes to the fuel pump, I can't see anything else making sense. Wierd problem though, I hope you figure it out. Let us know.

 

thanks for the help guys, but i think i found another factor to throw into this whole scheme of problems, possibly the battery, yes the battery, for the past 2 days ihave gone to start my car, and it hasnt started because of a bad connection, now today i went to try to start it and it didnt start, i fooled with the battery, then got it to start, then it would die, start and die, itwasnt until i floored it up aroudn 4 grand and then kept feathering the petal between 1500 and 2500 that it finally started running right, it was because there wasnt enough time for the fuel pump to start up between the start up and the dying out, but now its running fine, but i will still keep you guys updated, i dont think i'll be doing the fuel pump anytime soon, i really dont want to do it lol plus im in college and even a 15 dollar pump is a fortune right now lol
