A full diagnostic scan would be a good start. The memory codes may have the answer.

Use the site search function with something like "diagnostic scan" or "fault code reading" or similar. Or go to a sparky or Ford and ask them to run one.

You gotta give us more detail mate. Is the tank full?
It sounds like a fuel pump problem. If the pump has been changed by someone previously they may have put the fuel sock on backwards. This will cause it to suck air at anything under 1/3-1/4 of a tank. |

no the tank is not full it does it when its low but surely it cant be just because its low otherwise i wouldnt be able to run the tank to empty if i couldnt make it to a gas station so something must be wrong right? so should i check if the pumps the right way around?

If the fuel pump is not properly fitted this can happen, my mates XR8 did this too when the tank was low going around corners!

Yeah a crack in the coil will only affect running when going around corners

i unplugged the lead that plugs onto the coil and the head of the coil has a chip in it so could this be the problem

Mate just had this problem. may be unrelated to 08ballahs problem but worth a shot
