Engine Cuts out, bucks on accelleration

Hi everyone,
I am hoping someone may be able to point me in the right direction. I have looked briefly at some of the recent threads but haven't seen this specific problem. Apologies if it has come up before.
I recently bought a Probe with a 2.5l engine and 4 sp auto.
When the fuel tank is over 1/2 full, it runs beautifully. Below 1/2 tank is begins to cut out, first on left hand turns then as the tank gets lower on right turns as well; when it gets below 1/4 tank, it bucks on accelleration in a straight line.
I suspected it might be a fuel pickup problem but when running at 60km/h even at low fuel, it accellerates without problem.
I do occasionally have the check engine light come on, but I'm led to believe this is related to emission controls on the car rather than to this problem.
Has anyone experienced this sort of problem? Can anyone give me a clue as to what it might be?
