| 92LRC | Possible Fuel Pump issue | ||

|
Last few times I've had the car out it stalls when I go around a corner too hard. It just dies quietly and I can get it to turn over again but it will only run for a second. It kind of sputters and almost seems like it's struggling to get fuel. After a while it starts up again like nothing happened. I started thinking it might be the fuel pump or the strainer sock.
When I run the car easy (no sharp turns) it runs fine, no stalls. But lets face it this car was made to take sharp turns so...... Any input is appreciated. Thanks |

C4's are known for fuel loss on cornering. If you have over a 1/4 tank you shouldnt have this problem. Below it, its common when cornering hard , especially autocrossing etc. |

I had this when turning to the left, only. It did it a couple of times, then never did it again. Never figured that one out... and at the time, I had a nearly full tank.

You know, now that you mention it, I think it's always happened on a left turn. Funny. Quote:
Both times that it happened I probably had about 1/4 or just short. But let's say that it happens on a full tank, like what Bogus described, could it be the sock? Car has 114K and the pump and related gear are likely original. I guess it's time to renew AAA and test out the theory (that is when the ice and snow goes away). I can't wait to move back to South Florida. Thanks for the info. |

Pumps are pretty reliable. The sock could (okay it is black and nasty). Takes about an hour to take it out and change. |

The pumps are reliable? Steve, where do you get your pumps, fill me in on this wonderful land of reliable fuel pumps!
I have been making a gnarly habit of needing a new FP about every 2.5 years... and I am not one to go down to empty! Then again, my gas gauge so doesn't work that I have no clue where empty is. |

I just threw a pump away. Oh well, sorry about that. I bought a Racetronix. Cheap, compared to dealer, and provides enough fuel for my engine as the factory one was not enough with the 42# injectors.
Shouldnt be going through pumps that often.IMHO |

Doesn't seem worth doing just the sock. If I'm gonna replace I'll get the racetronix kit that has a pump, sock, and all the hardware. It kinda seems that this is where I'm heading. |

When you get the racetronix pump, ensure you have the correct sock. They sent me the wrong one. No biggie. It was a stock FORD MUSTANG GT 5.0 fuel pump sock, and fuel pump.... 255 lph http://www.racetronix.biz/index.asp?F ... 4&url=IND&iFromFeatured=1 |

I just bought a racetonix 190 lph kit and wondered when I saw the sock if it was the right one. what are they supposed to look like? This one is about 4 inches long and flat.

As long as it fits on the pump. You will know if it is wrong. If it is correct it slips right on. |
