Acts like it's running out of fuel

When I take off in 1st gear it kind of bucks from lack
of fuel , because if I push the clutch back in and bring
the rpm's up to1200 or 1400 and let off the clutch again it's ok . And I have been driving manual trans since I've been 16 .Please help me with my problem

Acting like its out of fuel

I filled my tank full and when I was driving I got to about half
tank it started acting like it was
running out of fuel . So I filled up
again and I could only fil half tank. So could my fuel filter vacuum switch be bad?

Or the restriction sensor?

That switch just opperates a light on the dash it wont make it run bad. I would check the fuel pressure.

does it do it on either tank? if it works fine on the other tank you should suspect the pickup tube.

Welcome to FTE. I moved all of your various posts into this thread since they're all about the same problem.

Good luck!

When you pull your fuel caps does it sound like it's sucking air?
