I own a 2000 SVT Contour, and for quite some time now I've noticeed that under hard acceleration, above 4000 revs or so and below redline, the engine seems to struggle.

The strange thing is, this only occurs during hard acceleration and when I have less than a full tank of gas. Even half a tank of gas produces the problem. The only way I don't notice it is if my tank is full. Perhaps there is something wrong with my fuel pump?

Is this the power failure noticed in the FAQ, or something different? Has anyone else had this problem? I took it to the dealer and of course they said they could not duplicate the problem. I find that hard to believe. Any suggestions?
