6" lift on my little 30" BFG AT's for the winter, 34" Swampers in the summer
My Jeep handles great beleive it or not. Out handles my stock 97 Explorer any day of the week. I drive all back roads to school, so I do get on it a little bit (but only to 50 when she starts shaking).
When I get into a tight corneron the gas, 45* or better, sometimes pulling out at intersections, and I have below a half of tank of gas, it just shuts off. Feels just like the fuel cut in my 240sx. I click it into neutral and start it right back up, click it into drive and go again. Not every time, but I can tell by how hard I'm leaning weather its enough to make the Jeep shut off. And it gets worse as the gas gauge goes down. It's really starting to bother me, I'm waiting for the time it happens in town and it shuts off infront of an 18 wheeler.
Any remedy to the situation? I took off the fuel filter (in the top of the tank) last summer and cleaned the hell out of it. Back washed it with gas and put the air to it like 20 times thinking it was clogged filter. That didnt help. Is this problem just due to crappy tank/pump design or is there some sort of designed fuel cut?
