This has done this for awhile now, but today was worse. When I turn right and floor it, I get a bucking / jerking and have to let off. Turning left, it never does it. I was down to 5 gallons so I added 5 more and it stopped. This is repeatable.
The odd part today was it ran fine to my destination after I got gas (left or right turns flooring). Car sat for an hour and on my way home it died at idle at every stop. Outside of the idle issue, car ran great.
When I got home I hard wired fuel pump no change at idle. Also disconnected vacuum from FPR, no change. I have some other checks I need to do via FSM, just wondering what others thought. I need to do the fuel filter and I’m going to add a FP gauge to check pressure.
The reason for thinking fuel pump is the turning right issue. That has always been weird to me, but repeatable. I might have junk in the tank too.
From reading other info on a failing pump, it seems the number one symptom is issues while driving.
