Starving the engineL-Spec 05-19-2006, 04:13 AM I have another issue (sorry :wink: ). Initially, when I was at the track, a common issue for a stuttering engine was because of the huge capacity for gas in the RX-7, so we can assume that the engine's going to starve during hard corners, so the obvious remedy would be filling the tank up. Well, tonight, me and some friends were drifting a bit in a parking lot. I went to have a go. During a drift, I gave it full throttle and then the car stuttered, backfired, and then kept going again. At this point, my gas tank was around 80% full, so I didn't think it could just be all the gas being slushed around. It wasn't even hard braking and turning, barely changing the car's balance at all. I could take a regular turn at an intersection, but say I give it WOT half way through the turn, it'll stutter again, even if the turn was incredibly smooth, and I don't know why. I tried it out in the Eclipse, and it ran fine. Does anyone have this issue? Anyone have any ideas? The FC is completely stock FYI. Thanks in advance. drftk1d 05-19-2006, 07:14 AM i've never had this problem check your fuel filter and/or injectors and besides more gas in the tank wont help starvation L-Spec 05-19-2006, 02:18 PM and besides more gas in the tank wont help starvation I meant when I was driving on empty, sorry if I wasn't clear on that part. The car wouldn't be able to do donuts because the fuel would cut off so much, but after giving it half a tank of gas, it was fine. drftk1d 05-20-2006, 04:53 AM oh well yeah if the tank's empty then you'll starve fuel L-Spec 05-20-2006, 12:01 PM Yes, but now, even with an almost full tank of gas, it still starves during hard turns :( I have no idea what's going on. There's an autoX event going on tomorrow morning and I'm afraid that I won't be able to participate. Capt.Moe 05-20-2006, 02:31 PM replace your fuel filter, might be clooged, fuel pump might be getting weak too. look at getting an aftermarket one. Something that's a little better then stock for fuel delivery. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
