Hi all i own a 99 3 door focus 1800 zetec, when im below 1/4 of a tank of fuel my car has no power when going round a right hand bend. the when i exit the corner the power comes back a couple of seconds later?? the car has NOT been modified.

I have heard of this before on conversions from carb to injection. But as said above my car is standard??

Any ideas??


Many thanks
Drew

 

I have exactly the same, though happens only during track driving...

as i've just posted on the other topic

it could be a cracked fuel pump mate.

think this is what happened to my mates st170

 

Seems a common problem lol will be interesting to see whats causing it

 

don't think it's a problem, just the focus "thing" - apart from mine itp happened to several focis on the same curve on the same track, everyone had about 1/4 of gas tank...
maybe a stronger fuel pump would help

 

k iv been thinking bout it. if it is a fuel pump design fault is there anyway of modding the pump ie; fab and fit a longer pipe to the pump?????
or is this a typical newbie thought? lol
cheers for the help
