fuel starvation?

[fuzzy]

when i accelerate going around a large roundabout the car splutters until im going straight again then is fine,it must be lack of fuel but any ideas as to what would cause that as it didnt do it before

i had the samr with my erst, is it not just a ford thing

[fuzzy]

ive never owned a ford ,only the engine what i mean is it didnt do it before WITH the cosworth engine fitted its only a recent problem in the last couple of weeks.i suppose the simple things like changing the fuel filter might help

Hmm...i've heard of cornering so fast that the oil gushes to one side of the engine and away from the oil pickup in the engine. This can happen is you have lowered suspension & slick rubber as you generate so much lateral forces that you need a baffled sump to prevent oil starvation because of this.

I wonder if this could be something similar with the fuel pickup. Maybe it has come lose/damaged/failed somehow. If it were a fuel filter then it would happen going in a straight line aswell as your drawing maximum fuel through when you are at the highest rpm.

Used to happen to me regular when i gave it heavy right pedal

Your pump working ok?

[fuzzy]

just clutching at straws with the fuel filter as my last car used to cut out when going up steep hills and the problem was cured after i changed the fuel filter.how would i check if the pump was operating as it should?

[georob]

not too sure dude, are you not meant to have swirl pots in your tank if your running that engine or have you? or am i just making it up

i'm sure someone on here will tell you how

good luck
