'91 Legacy - Stumble During Hard Turn?


Recommended Posts

Hi all - just picked up a '91 Legacy wagon. When we made a hard right turn to go up a hill today testing the new tie rod ends, the motor stumbled and nearly cut out before catching again. It was a pretty hard turn, I admit. Seems to run fine any other time. My first thought was fuel starvation, but it has 1/4 tank of gas. Any ideas? Where should I look first?

I've had the same thing happen with mine a few times, but it's only when I have about a gallon and a half of fuel left in the tank. The fuel pressure pump is on the right side of the tank, so going fast around a hard right turn pushes all the fuel over the hump in the middle and over to the left side of the tank, then it takes a few seconds for it to flow back.

Go fill it up, see how much it takes (it's a 15.9 gallon tank) then go try the same corner again and see if it still does it.
