Tranny or Engine
 
I own a 1998 Olds Regency,recently I have noticed while making a turn while accelerating my car chugs or misses;like it's not getting fuel. It usually happens when I'm 1/8th of a tank full.

You know if its a fuel problem if the fault never surfaces say 1/2 tank or not. Then, its probably a faulty fuel guage indication or clogging fuel filter, maybe the strainer over the electric fuel pump most likely in the fuel tank. Either way. Draining the fuel tank to empty and checking calibration to guage would be my first move.

I agree with this mate. Its the best thing you can do to know if it is a fuel related problem. My brother got the same issue few months ago and this is exactly what he did to know if the problem is fuel related.

Pleased you concur
 
;) Please let me know how you make out mate. I hope your troubles are over or will be soon. I just got a 10,000 lb gorrila off of my back with my 93 LHS trans going into Limp mode or fail safe almost everyday. All I had to do was turn the key off once or twice for a minute or two and continue on my way normally. Turned out to be the trans control module ($50) at the junk yard and my trans mech was giving me the slip cause he really didn't want to mess with it. After picking his brain I read everything I could find and came to that concluision thank God. Even a Squirel gets a nut now and then right? Good Luck Don
