Default feul problem

I have an 89 Lx 5.0 pretty much stock. Car wants to die when it reaches half a tank of feul and after, but only does it during a right hand turn? Any ideas?

Most likely the baffle in the tank has come loose and is moving around and interfering w/ the pump. Very common problem. If this is the case, you'll need a new tank. You'll need to pull the tank to be able to verify this

drop the tank and look inside for a broken baffle as PRO50SC states
