drive like a granny no, check at the fuel tank where the fitting are and make sure everything is secure there

pull out your fuel pump and have a look inside the tank with a torch (not a lighter hahahahahah) take note of where the lowest part of the pump is and then have a look at the baffel box. its a rectuangular box with no top on it inside the tank that the fuel pump sits in, if the fuel pump isint sitting in this box or the box is broken this will be your problem. if the box is broken you will need to get another fuel tank as you cant change the boxes over

Hey i have the same problem my car has been doing it for the last year and i dont no what it is i have replaced. fuel pump/Sender twice/ the fuel filter and the fuel tank and it still does it i took it to a machanic he said its loosing fuel pressure and they checked pump and line and i ran out of money so they didnt check the fuel tank but i replaced it anyway cause it had some dents in it. i was thinking maybe the regulator or a loose wire thats what other people say. i am going to replace my motor with a VR one cause i did a crank shaft rear bearing and i will see if its the motor.i will write back and tell ya. good luck.
