I have to turn they key to on and wait for the fuel level guage to pop up before I crank it over, if I get in and turn the key to crank it over right away it wont start.Its like it needs a few seconds to build up pressure. I havent bought a fuel press tester yet to check it but I was wondering if anyone has any ideas,Fuel pressurereg? Leaking injectors? Fuel pump? Also, when I go around right hand turns, { like on an on ramp to a highway, if the tank is a 1/4 or under it will start to sputter and starve for fuel, sometimes dies.. It used to do it at 1/8 of a tank, but its getting worse! Im triing to sell this car, it sat for a few months and yesterday I started it and it smoked like crazy, smelled like unburned fuel, thats why I was wondering about the injectors.... Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

I''ve got the same issue with starting mine, but have not experienced the issue in a turn.

Wish I could help you out, but I''ve only had the car about a month so I''ve just been dealing with it so far. My initial suspicion was the fuel filter, since I had a similar issue with my Blazer. However, I would say the symptom you have when making a turn would suggest more of a problem than just a filter.
