Here'* the link to the newly (re-posted) TSB regarding this problem. I've taken the liberty to post all TSB'* & Campaigns from this point on, to be posted on my Forum (BA.Com) & then link them to here instead.

I've seen something like this on my 1993 SE. There is a spiral exit ramp in the parking garage at work. It goes uphill and turns 360 degrees to the right. If I drive up it with less than 1/4 tank of gas I will often stall within 20-30 feet after levelling off.

I always thought it was because of the incline but come to think of it the car doesn't usually stall on inclines so it'* probably the combination of incline, centrifugal force, and low fuel.

I have a 92' SSE and I've experience this problem a few times also. Scared me at first but i realized that it was due to low fuel so i didn't worry about it. My solution to the problem is just keep more than 1/4 tank of gas in it. a lot less expensive then replacing everything.

Keeping fuel above 1/4 keeps the fuel pump nice and happy on a car that does this or not.
