SO ive been having this problem for a while now, but figured idd finally post about it...
When i get low on gas (1/4 tank about) Ill be driving, and my throttle will cut out. I can build vacuum to zero, but it wont go into boost, and it doesnt actually accelerate. I cant feel anything, i jsut see my gauge go to zero. Sometimes it will only happen for a few seconds and it will go back to normal, but other times i will have to come to a stop, and the car will stall. It usually takes a few seconds and the car will start back up.

Ive basically just been trying to keep my gas up above half a tank, but obviously something is wrong and id like to fix it...any help is appreciated.

i'm going to be around wed-sun. i got a garage down by mike's place so i can start my new project/store some stuff. i simply don't have the time to put the 4 back together. besides there's some stuff that i'd like to just let mike take care of so that i can sell the car asap.
