Today at an autocross meet the car was doing great. EXCEPT that after a sharp curve there was a delay in getting power, with he engine running lean. We were running a half tank or less to save on weight and it was suggested that the problem was fuel starvation after a sharp turn.
Having looked inside the tank it don't seem so awfully likely, but it does fit the symptoms. Driving back on country roads I went across several 90 degree bends, and the same durn thing happened! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) Any thoughts? |

I've got exactly the same issue but ONLY on hard lefties, righties are al-rigthy. Baffled by this for going on a year now - it happened with my 1.7L FI and still happens with the replacement 2.0L FI. tub is a '71 - stainless lines thru the tunnel by McMark....so pretty sure they are hooked up to the correct supply / return at the tank.
I'd like to figger it out as I'm not able to ax with it the way it is.... glad I'm not the lone ranger on here with this issue! maybe I'm not crazy after all? keep those suggestions coming - its probably something! td |
