Appreciate the info on how to get to pump - this info in the service manual?
I did a good search on 'fuel starvation' on this site, and it is very very prevalent, some to lesser and others to higher degrees. Almost all say they run into it on long lefties, and the most common belief is that is has to do with the location and design of the sump, which is located on the left side of the tank. WHY some get it worse than others is kind of unknown (at least that's what I came up with), though there seems to be a correlation to the type of turn and the speed which you carry through the turn (those with R-comps, as an example, can run faster than those with streets.... just one example).
What I haven't seen yet is a common, simple fix (at least to the layman). It may be that I have to scout out a race / performance shop........ but there is definitely nothing local, that's for sure. I was hoping to find a fix that your average (home) mechanic could perform.
