hey all.
I picked up an au3 xr8 couple of weeks ago. Sadly the other day whilst coasting 140km/h i came round a RH bend with little bit of a dip in it, the v8 suddenly died in the ***. kinda like it starved for fuel. its still been like it since then, it happens when ya punch the throttle, or while cruising if ya hit a decent dip in the road it stutters again. Looking for any suggestions cause i would really like to have my power back.

You may also have a pickup issue in the fuel pump. Is it low on fuel when doing it?

its the fuel pump. apparently there was a batch of them that suffered this issue. my S3 XR8 did it, so took it back to Ford and they replaced it with a hi flow pump (which is the factory fix for the issue) under warranty, and problem gone. usually only happens below half tank.

Thanks all for the input and ideas. I pulled the fuel pump out, to find a bit of water in the tank. All drained and much better
