yeah something similar would happen to me too. mine was like it was starving for fuel and would sputter and cut out when i stomped it. its not like that all the time so i didnt look into it though.

Also your fuel filter could be clogged up, just tossin out ideas.

this is the same thing that happened to me i replaced the fuel pump and everything has worked out fine since then even with half a tank a easy turn it would do this

This also happens to me every time I'm running with low amount of gas....
Hope I can solve my problem after checking my fuel pump...

Mine acted about the same way but mostly from a stop and making a turn, didn't really notice it at speed but my fuel pump also went out a couple days ago. Getting ready to replace it along with the filter here in the next couple days.

Adding.....Running your tank below 1/4 can cause pump damage over time as it uses the fuel to keep it cool.

Good to know!! I actually just did my 3rd fill up today, since owning the jeep. I was running it down to E each time just to see how many miles per tank it could reach and when 'too low' was.

I noticed the same power loss since the first tank. Since it happened when i was at about 1/4 tank i didn't think twice about it and hoped for the best. By the 2nd tank i noticed it would happen when i was really pushing it in left hand turns only. I guess the fuel pickup is on the left side of the tank?

On this third tank i verified it for sure as it would hesitate before i filled up, then with the full tank i could throw it around anywhere with out any problems.

i'll be keeping it above 1/4 from now on. With gas here at @ $1.10 for regular, no reason not to. =D

My 99 2 wheel drive does this under Hard acceleration on Left hand turns only, no matter what the fuel level. I have a feeling it has somethin to do with the fuel shutoff(in case the vehicle flips over), but Im not sure either. Im interested to find out also.
