Hey bribomn,
Here is an excerpt from something that I just posted:
"Additionally, I have experienced fuel starvation during high speed, long right-turning on/off ramps when I am low on fuel. I had a similiar fuel starvation problem in my 89 Ford Probe GT and it turned out to be a gunked up fuel filter intake sock - I cleaned it and cleaned out the bottom of my fuel tank and that fixed my Probe."
In the Probe, the problem started happening when the tank was real low. Then it started happening when I got down to a half tank. I checked out my Haynes manual and the fuel pump setup looks to be the same (SVT and Probe). As I recall, the job was fairly easy. Try to empty the tank as much as possible before starting. Then remove the rear seat bottom to get to the fuel pump. My book says that you should replace the gasket any time that you remove the pump. Anyway, I just left the pump out in the sun and when it dried, this gunky, rusty, sludge just flaked away. Then I cleaned up more gunk from the tank and put it back together. Hope this helps.
By the way - the sludge formed at the bottom of the sock filter first, then slowly made its way up the sock. That's why the starvation began occurring when the tank was more and more full. The sock filter covers the fuel intake tube.
