Default Help please guys need to know what's up

Right guys I'v got 2 problems the first being some sort of fuel starvation when going round corners mainly or I'v mainly noticed when turning right as in roundabouts and so on ! Now I've been told it could be fuel surge as in air being pulled through when the tank is below a quarter but realistically these cars are built for going round corners and something like this I think to be unlikely and it does it on slow bends now as well ! It's like for a split second it's fuel starved then it kicks back in . First thing I thought was maf but while the car was running I unplugged the maf and the car stalled so I'm guessing that's ok ???

Second problem again I took to be maf was erratic revs every now and then and the check engine light coming on but after a few mins this seems to sort itself out ! The revs do either of 2 things which is run high as if a choke on old cars is on ( up to 2000 revs ) or jump between 500 where it sits normaly and 1500 ! Up and down as if you were tapping the throttle ! This is when the cars check engine light comes on but as I said this eventually sorts itself out after a few mins when it does happen !!!

The spec of my car is on eBay ! Item number 120954459960


Also what do people think of the car as a side note as I need to sort this first it's doing my head in !! Not much point in owning a car like this if I can't throw it round roundabout lol only joking but it is very annoying and if some thing is on its way out I wanna get it sorted , my ideas are maf , fuel pump but why only when going round corners

Please help if you can and thank you

Fuel surge issue is very common. The fuel pick up is on the o/s of the tank. Hard right corners/roundabouts. If your going for it make sure you have at least half a tank or fit a swirl pot.
