hello all. im new at this so bear with me.. i have a 1993 mx-3 and when i get to about half tank, my car will bog down when making a right hand turn if im still on the gas peddle. im only 21 so i dont know exactly where to start. i have only had the car about 2 mths. and im very confused it is a 4cyl and a 5 speed man. any suggestions on where to start? thanks all

I would think a tank baffle is broken or possibly a pump issue. Did anyone change a pump in it before you got it, if so maybe they broke one of the baffles inside the tank, otherwise take a look and see if you have any wires pinching under the dash when your turning the wheel, maybe something got wired in?

Hopefully it helps, thats just where I would start from

yeah idk if anyone changed anything on this car. it all kinda looks original. but i will do that:) thnx

I'd vote for the gas pump/baffle setup. I changed my pump out (cheap replacement) when I swapped my engine and ever since, if I take a sharp right turn at high speed it bogs out like it has no gas in it.
I have a 135 degree turn before my house, and if I take that at anything more than 60 I can bog it out with a FULL tank.

baffle/pump 100%

Egt pumps are notorious for that crap

You wouldn't have this problem if you were in NASCAR.

haha why, because of the left turn only, or the badass fuel cells they use in the cars

well i found out what it was. there was a screen catcher on the pump that had fallen off. but thnx so much for your assistance
