94 classic cuts out going up-down a hill - Land Rovers Only

guy i know has a 1994 classic 3.9, and he said that his truck will cutout-die when he goes up or down a slight grade, but will start right up. i had a mg midget years ago that would do the same thing when going around a curve, and it took me a good while to find the problem, it was a piece of hose from a gas pump that enedup in the fuel tank and would get sucked to the strainer.

he just had the fuel tank replaced (recall).

It could be the inertia switch for the fuel pump might be off set, or it is defective if it is sensitive to something that small of a change in angle.

Maybe the switch may need to be reset, just push the top of the switch under the hood on passenger side.
