Maybe you guys can help me out with this one...
My '93 Protege LX had a pretty dirty/clogged fuel pump strainer filter and the tank itself had a lot of dirt/sediment, etc. (the car sat for years). I replaced the strainer and the other fuel filter, I emptied the tank and cleaned it. The car would not rev past 5k before without running out of gas. Now it runs really nice.
I did notice this morning that on right hand turns, the car seems to bog as if it starved from fuel for a moment. The car has right now maybe a bit less than half a tank. The funny thing is that the strainer/fuel pickup face left of center inside the tank, so it would be weird for it to starve on a right hand turn, when fuel is sloshed to the left. I'll test more later, but so far, I can't say that it does it on left hand turns. Also, the fuel tank has a baffled "bucket" where the pump and its fuel pickup sits to prevent sloshing problems.
Am I missing something?
Could it be the VAF instead of being fuel related?
