hi this is the first time this has happened to me but i was coming home from work and nearly at my house when i come to a junction. theres nothing coming so i pull away fine in first a bit harder in 2nd and full throttle in 3rd. about 4-5k into third the car stuttered, back fired and lost power for a second so i let off accelerator and it was ok in half throttle from then. got into my drive and it was idling fine and boost was normal.
 
i have very little fuel in my car so could of it been down to that?? ow and i was going uphill if that makes any differance??
 
thanks

In short yes bud - quite likely to be the case..... be careful next time when you know you\'re a bit low on fuel! ;)

EEEK lol you should never run it lower than about 1/4 to 1/3 due to fuel starvation plus the fuel pump will suck in all the muck and rubbish at the bottom of the tank!
