Ok doesnt have to do with my new BP since its not even done yet but with my Escort LX motor, 1.9 SEFI SOHC. I like this place better than any other car site so here it goes.
I have had the "die around corners with 1/2 tank or less of gas" problem for a while now but I havent fixed it. On sat night a german women hit my escort right the D side fender. Not much damage, I should be able to to pop the dents out of the fender but the rim is screw, she took the paint right off the middle of it.
After the hit, I noticed a problem. I was cruising at 50mph when I heard a different tone from my exhaust (I have a catback SS manderal bent 2.5" exhaust so it makes a nice tone). Because of the tone I can tell when something is wrong. I noticed a hicup from the motor like it was about to die.
She didnt die and all was good but I have been getting this same problem off and on since then. I did a speed test on the auto bahn today and I noticed that when I noticed the hicups I was lacking in power. I was only able to get to 85mph now because of the lack of power.
Sounds just like a fuel pump issue, who agrees with me?
