1997 2.4L Cavalier (engine is a Quad4 descendant)

When the tank gets low, at about 1/8th or lower, the fuel starts to cut out. Doesn't seem to be able to suck that last bit of fuel out, could still be a gallon or more in there.

When I accelerate hard uphill or if I brake hard and then immediately try to accelerate away with 1/4 a tank or lower.... same thing. Can't get to the fuel.

Damn thing just has trouble getting fuel if the tank is low.

Fuel pressure is good. I hooked up a fuel gauge and left it overnight. Didn't lose pressure.

I think that's all the info I got...

Thanks!
sounds like either you have a bunch of dirt in the tank, or the fuel pick-up is in a bad location.
