Re: engine misfire?

sounds fuel pump related. if memory serves, the fuel pump is in the left side of the tank. Left turn, the gas sloshes to the right, starving the pump.
If you aren't experiencing the same problem with more gas in the tank, it may not be the pump. it may be a baffle around the intake that has come loose. Although, I have a '96 and my pump kicked the bucket around 130,000 miles. If it is the pump, it's not pretty, cost me about $900 to have it fixed.
either way it involves dropping the tank, which is the source of most of the expense.

One last thought. try not to run the tank down below 1/4 full, the gas keeps the very expensive fuel pump cool. I learned this after replacing my pump.
