Re: [T3] Loosing fuel when turning.


Be sure to check ignition wires that have cracks and may be grounding against the case or other metal components.  It can appear as the same thing.

Have you checked your fuel pump pressure?  Also, you may want to jack up one side of the car (to simiulate turns) and check the pressure again and look for "unsecured" wires.
