Fuel Starvation

[Addissimo]

After I installed my new wheels and tires, I can't take right hand corners full throttle with less than 2/3 tank of fuel. Any ideas what to do? I have one of those ghey dual chamber tanks so I'm thinking after I reach a certain point, most of the fuel is on the other side of the tank.

If you have the two pump system then maybe the intank pump has quit.
Does the main pump sound like it has marbles in it?

Also, check the wiring under the engine ECU relay, maybe a wire is coming loose.

Your tank isn't gay, thay all have two sides.

Your in tank pump has died. This is very common.

Check the fuel filter, it could be clogged or obstructed.

Also, make sure the pump is delivering enough fuel.


I had the same problem when I bought my car. On all lefts and on some rights, the car would kind of stall and hesitate on me. Other than that, ran fine. I knew it was a starvation issue, but I didn't know where. Finally the pump crapped out and that was that :)
