I have an Acclaim 1993- when I am driving /turning at lower speeds ( 50-60km) the car wants to stall. I push down on the gas pedal but the gas/power doen't seem to be there. The engine doesn't seem to be getting enough gas and then there is gas and the car shoots forward with power. This is not happening all the time. What can it be?
Thanks,
Sandy

Hi:
If the problem isn't happening all of the time, it could be a fuel pump going bad. I would suggest that you have the pump pressure and volume checked.

DOES THE PROBLEM ONLY HAPPEN WHEN YOU TURN?
