Hi, My MX3 1.8 V6 has what seems to be fuel starvation when it turns right at just under half a tank of petrol. Had new fuel lines fitted but hasn't cured problem, please help!

Have the fuel pump removed from the fuel tank (through the back seat) and check the sock on the end of the fuel pump. Alot of times this 'scok' gets dirty and causes a fuel starvation problem with the mx-3's

Thanks Cosmo, I will try that. I thought it had to be a problem in the tank but hopefully your suggestion will cure it. I will post whether it works or not.
Cheers :)

Has your tank been replaced recently? Sometimes the aftermarket one's puch on the bottom of the sock causing a kink in the 'sock' link a kink in your garden hose
