xj Loses power when turning left power comes back after a couple of seconds it doesnt die or anything but just revs down then back up? Idk what it can be? Anyone have a similar problem?

 

Is the power steering pump dragging it down? What year? Which engine/trans?

 

Only thing it could be is your power steering pump.. if its only happenig when your turning the tires

 

Well it was weird cuz i fueled up and its not doin it no more so im thinking maybe its tje fuel pump? Cuz it only does it when im driving

 

When I'm lower than 1/4 of a tank and take turns a little fast my Jeep bogs down looses all power because the pump isn't getting fuel, then my power kicks in again. Its the fuel moving side to side in the tank and not being picked up by the pump. Nothing to worry about other than that you need some gas soon.

 

Also sometimes if you floor it when that happens you can hear the pump popping like is sucking but nothings going through. Its common.

 

Oh alright thanks i thought it waa something bad since it had never happen before.

 

I had one that cut out when turning right with a low tank of fuel.

The pump was clocked wrong in it's mount, holding the pick-up tube too high.

Remove the screws, pull it out and put it in with the pick-up toward the bottom of the tank.

While it's out - good idea to replace the cheap plastic hose on it with QUALITY fuel hose.

20 minute job.

 

+1. My 89 did that, and that was the problem.

 

I have never had a problem with my.fuel being to low. And being as poor as I am I normally am below quarter tank. Check into the clocking like they said.
