My Dad years a go had a very simular problem but at higher revranges/speeds with his 180B race car. He had everyone look at it, ended up blowing the fuel lines out bout 12 months later, and heaps of money spent on experts/hours on the track ect ect., anyhow a bug flew out, it ended up this long bug was too skinny to block the lines while on its side, but when the speed or cornering the bug moved and blocked the fuel line, the car would start back up again, and do it all over again when the speeds (G's)went up. So I recon deffiantly don't direguard the fule issues !
Later/goodluck. Have a great week.

If it is the fuel then its weird. It'll quite happily rev out in all three first gears when just warm (and this is with an SC14 supercharger and an L28). So if there was something with the fuel i would've thought it wouldn't let me do that.
