When my car gets under a half a tank, it acts like its going to turn off or like its not getting fuel for a couple seconds so it lags and you cant move. The best way to describe it is like when you are drinking a soda with a straw but the straw is cracked. You get the liguid fine until you get to the crack and then you dont get much liguid comeing up. It almost makes the car seem like its going to die. Any suggestions would be great. The fuel filter was already replaced
