HE KEEPS SHUTTING DOWN

Post by g3939 »

Every time I make a hard right turn in my 92gs the engine dies. It will start right back up, and it won't stall every time if it is full of gas. Please help if anyone has ever had this problem before?

There is a sock-like filter surrounding the suction of the fuel pump in the gas tank. I suspect this could be it. Probably need to get all the crap out of the tank that clogged this filter while you're cleaning/replacing it.

the gas tank was rusted as everyone suggested. I had it cleaned and coated at a radiator shop for $250usd. thanks for the help guys.It runs well all the way to empty now, I almost forgot about the little amber low fuel warning light. :driver:
