Dunno if your in tank fuel pump is like mine or not but my guess is the fuel line in the tank has a hole in it and its sucking air or the filter is clogged. Just a thought.

If you hear sucking sound in tank 99% chance you have a hole in gas line. Try filling tank to full and see if that doesn t solve your problem until the gas in the tank gets low. Quite a common problem. Hoses in tanks rub against things until a hole wears through. When you replace the hose, change your gas filter as well.

Why this is a good answer & is probably the problem & I hope you are running the stock plugs also this will cause problems to if you are not!

Hmm maybe. So is there a fuel line in the tank that goes from fuel pump to fuel? Sure does sound like this could no the problem.
