need help with a jeep
This is my sisters jeep, so I dont drive it every day, but while on a short test drive I learned that the engine stutters and cuts out when turning left and when driving over bumps (potholes, railroad tracks, etc.) She says it seems to be fine when gas tank is full, and worse when tank is empty. I'm thinking the in-tank fuel pump and or sending unit has something to do with it, but I'd like to be a little more sure of my conclusion before dropping the gas tank. Any help, information, or shared experiences would be appreciated. Thank You.

what year and model of jeep? It does sound like it has something to do with the fuel pick up. www.naxja.org is a good website if this jeep is a cherokee xj(midsize,not grand)
