LS1 fuel starvation problem?? - Lateral-g Forums

RdHuggr68 · #1 08-23-2012, 05:18 PM

I have a 2nd gen Camaro with a 2002 LS1 and spectra fuel tank with a Walboro fuel pump. The problem is when I go around a sharp turn accelerating through the turn it acts as though it is not getting any fuel even with the tank almost full. I have to take my foot off of the gas pedal to get it going again.Could this be anything other than the fuel tank or pump? I know this probably isn't the best tank available but it was in the car when I bought it.

Thanks, Kevin

spectra pickup?

I am not sure, what pickup is in there, I assume your saying that the Spectra pickup is a POS?

Yep, pretty much. Although this is the first I have heard of one that doesn't work well when almost full.

Almost full? How many gallons are in the tank when it happens?
