    engine chokes

    I have a weird problem. when i take a hard right turn, the car chokes and and almost dies. It only happens with right turns. I changed spark plugs, dizzy, wires checked all the ignition is working, tried changing fuel pumps but problem still here. Does any one experienced that before.

    Again, it only happens with hard right turns.

    Thanks

      Fill up your gas tank. Our cars when the fuel is low will do this.

        Mine does this when Im low on gas also! Especially on a 1/4 tank. It will run fine straight but you hit a off ramp with a turn you better be light on the gas cause she will sputter.
        Ive herd of modding the tank, but I dont want to mess with the tank, so Im switchin to a fuel cell soon.
        Also pull your fuel pump and clean the screens if they are clogged, and change your fuel filter. This wont solve the problem but it might help.

          I guess i never noticed it before. I'll leave as is, just take it easy on right turns. Tahks Jamaican for the links, took a look at it but my pump is different, old style BP02 so the mod doesn't apply.
