RE: wierd doughnut question

Check all your grounds and wire connections around the battery, grounds in the engine bay as well.

Fuel may be "sloshing" around in the tank, enough that your fuel pump sucks air for a moment, so you lose fuel pressure at the injectors. MO.

that would be my assumption... probably a bad baffle in the tank

RE: wierd doughnut question

Does the power to the car shut off or does the car just die like its running out of fuel. If its fuel, I would agree that you may have a broken baffle in the tank.
