    Default VS fuel cut

    hey all been having issues with my vs daily drive its v6 auto
    its like the car is getting fuel surge when i corner hard to the right fuel warning comes on and car stalls instantly will not start straight away ..
    i have changed fuel and fuel filter and filled the tank right up and it happened to me again today
    also today i realised that when i am driving if i go full throttle the auto will not change gear and holds rpm at 4000 ...
    only when in gear if i put it in Neutral i can rev to red line i only noticed this today because i usually drive it like a nana due to it being my daily..

    only thing i can think of is maybe the pump is nakered
    its stock as a rock no mods 250XXXkms

    I'd try a fault code check and see what it says: Checking error codes VR/VS (Revised)
    Possibly it's the throttle position sensor not telling the PCM where the throttle is.
    Re the stalling - if it only happened when under 1/2 fuel then I'd say the fuel return hose busted in the tank but you say it still happened on a full tank??
