Starving the engine

[L-Spec]

I have another issue (sorry ). 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.

i've never had this problem

check your fuel filter and/or injectors

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.

oh well yeah if the tank's empty then you'll starve fuel

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.

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.
