Fading on Corners

I wonder if anyone has had this problem. I am running a 16v KR engine and it keep dying on sharpish corners but picks up again immediately when the road straightens out . The fuel pumps both seem OK as it accelerates really well in a straight line and everything else is fine. Don't don't think it is ignition. Any ideas welcome.

Fuel tank running very low?

Dodgy electrical connection under lateral g? You can try wiggling things while engine is idling.

Sounds like you need a swirl pot in the fuel system to even out the fuel supply.

Hi,

I have today to work on my problem - thanks for responses. Going to try a second earth, new fuel, check all the connections and got a new filter to add to the mix - fingers crossed and a bit of swearing should do it!

Your problem is the lift pump in the tank.

Hi Roxylife,

Had a look at the in-tank pump, it primes Ok and I did replace it a year or so ago but must admit I am not entrirely happy with it. Maybe time to find a new one!

Thanks
