Ah yes, a new stalling/power loss problem
Ok, this time its a bit different, but the factors are still the same!
Was going to my friends house to replace a trans mount. I was gonna turn left at the light, and took the corner rather hard, had the clutch in, and was gonna shift to 2nd, and all of a sudden no power, looked down quick, saw the CEL on, and a split second after that, car regained power and I drove off. I cannot recall what the tach registered at that moment. My JB weld job is fine on that part on the distributor that Austinado told me to fix. The car didnt need to be restarted though, which was strange.
The car has a little less than a quarter of a tank of gas left, and the AC was on. I didnt figure the fuel would have been a problem, I still had plenty left in the tank.
The more I think about it, the more it makes sense though, it happened while riding with scott in his 4kq at Putnam last year, but he was really low on gas, and pushing the car harder than I was.
Any ideas? The symptoms are very similar to the other times this has happened (left turn, decent speed), but this time, didnt need restarted.
Any ideas?

Did a check/test run tonight
Filled up car with gas, checked all connections and junk. Took car to a parking lot and gave it hell, turned every which way, clutch in/out.
All is good, nothing abnormal. Im gonna guess it was the gas sloshing around, and not getting to the pump, seems logical.
