1992 Oldsmobile 98. "runs out of gas" going around a right turn with about 1/4 tank or less of gas. Once it's level, it's fine again. I've heard this is a common problem with this platform and age of car. Any solutions?

This Concern we're experiencing possibly incorrect fuel reading?? Along With right turn shut offs is an issue that should be a simple fix. Maybe the Heater Coil if this happens at running speed and engine gets hot. My car also stutters when accelerating (Possibly TPS Sensor Per: Code 43 TPS Knock Sensor.) Any Support would be Great. Thanks =)

Our 98 olds Regency Elite does this too. It is just running out of gas because the intake is on the right rear of the gas tank. Be careful to not park nose-in to a downhill parking bumper when you're almost out of gas. Your car might not be able to start! Parking uphill is fine because the fuel intake is in the rear of the tank.
