Great resource here--I'm hoping someone can help.

'98 4x4 4.0 auto

When I make a sharp left turn (hasn't happened when making a right) at low speeds and accelerate (such as pulling away from an intersection), the vehicle will momentarily stall out and then quickly resume running as normal. It runs great under all other conditions.

pumps on the left side, front half of the tank. gas sloshes away from the pickup, no fuel sent to engine. my 98 does the same. think of it this way: when you're parked going uphill, the fuel indicated, after a period of time, is less than what is in there because the fuel is in the back of the tank. when parked facing downhill the opposite is true. It happens to me only when I'm below 1/4 of a tank and happens easier-less turn required-the less fuel I have. Although, it hasn't happened for a long time...so who knows.

Best solution: refill your tank at 1/4 of a tank-never happened to me below that, or just take it easy when turning left

I think there was a tsb regarding the fuel pickup for 97+ xj's.

caused by the baffles in the tank. Keep your tank more full.

Fillled it up and everything's fine. Sucks to have this happen with over 20 litres remaining in the tank. Will the dealer be aware of the TSB./

I beieve it only covered the 97's, even though the 98-01's used the same parts, and have the same design, and suffer from the same problem :doh:....I could be wrong however.

what did the TSB say to do to fix the problem on the 97s, because that could be applied to the 98s and up

broken or clogged filter at the end of your fuel pump pickup, replace.
