Stu Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Fifty other things. Could be a dodgy wiring loom. Could be having no fuel in the tank. Could be lots of things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yozman2000 Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 Fifty other things. Could be a dodgy wiring loom. Could be having no fuel in the tank. Could be lots of things!it does it with half a tank of fuel! and the fuel pump is on the right hand side of the tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I'd get a qualified mechanic to at least tell you what the actual behaviour is and then either you or he can look at diagnosing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you know is that the engine loses power when you corner. Like I kindly went out of my way to tell you, lots of things can cause that SYMPTOM. If you don't like that answer, then have fun removing your fuel tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Listen sunshine, don't get your knickers in a twist because someone doesn't tell you what you want to hear. How about this then? I had exactly the same symptoms as you due to a faulty muffler bearing. Does that help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that help?"sunshine?" firstly its not that you have told me something i dont wanna hear! just seems like you got up on the wrong side of bed and wanna pee as many people as possible off.i asked for help with a topic and expect someone to reply with "yes Ive had this problem before try this"now then faulty muffler bearing sounds more helpful, for this i thank you but the full exhaust system has been replaced (from manifold to decat to backbox) so i doubt this being the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
