Hi , i need a little bit of advice. iv got a 3.8L vs executive. in the time iv had the car iv replaced the engine, W/P, exhaust, pulleys etc, just trying to get the car up to scratch but i noticed ever since iv had the car that when you get to about half a tank of fuel an you go around some corners, given the car abit around corner it dies in the ass. so i played with the car for and i think it mite be something to do with the fuel because i had just under half a tank an just circled a round about like 2 or 3 times just cruising and the engine cut out, on the skidpan i managed to get like 1 and a half donuts before the engine cut out. i replaced the fuel filter when i first got the car an it still has the problem. cleaned injectors put iridum plugs with 10mm top gun leads and waiting on MSD coils problems still there i was kinda thinkn the fuel pump or reg could be F***** any ideas ? cheers fellas!

I had a bad battery cause that problem many years ago. After switching from a heli into a figure eight... dead like I turned the key off. May have been low on water... not sure exactly but a battery swap fixed it.

yeh i thought it was the battery abit back, but i replaced the battery 3-4 months ago and its still doing it, do you rekon it could be the fuel pump? cause it only does it when you pull the car hard around a corner and thats only single peggers aswell

fuel pump or try doing donuts the oposit way the fuel pick up might not be able to gather the fuel up when doing donuts one way cause all the fuel goes to one side of the tank
