Default Gas Cuts Out @ Max Gs

When turning extremely hard to the left for a for a sweeping turn my gas cuts out. Yes, on an empty or a full tank of gas. Anyone?

Filter?

The other problems: warrantee w/ juice and demonstrating the fuel cut off for the tech.

Good luck!

It is most likely the pump not getting adiquite fuel. That is more of a design issue than a warrenty repair issue. A new gas tank/fuel pump of the same design wouldn't fix it. There are some solutions out there for this problem, including puting in anti-slosh foam(probably have to drop the tank and put in via an access hole) or mounting a small resivoir/accumlator tank to reduce cut out.

I have been experiencing the same thing during the past few autocrosses. It never did it when it was new. I now have 33K miles on it.

Happened to me with 1/4 tank on the track once. Happened to another owner at the last autocross with 1/2 full tank. Never heard of it happening with a full tank.

Had this happen to me on our last auto X. Half way though a slalom with 1/2 a tank and the pump sucked air. Really screwed up my line.

This is very common when people run sticky tires during high speed left hand sweepers. I've experienced it with as much as 3/4 tank of gas but i've never had it happen with a full tank. Certain turns realy make this problem apparent, most notable T2 at Laguna Seca. If its indeed repeatable with a full tank then there may very well be something else going on.

Would Honda fix this?

WHAT TO DO? THIS WILL RUIN MY LOVE FOR THE CAR.

Why at 9k mls, does the fuel pump get loose overtime? This never happend before.

I love using juice on turns, I have a ZEX system should I not use it on left hand turns?
