Default Severe engine cut. Please help??

My automatic 1992 corvette has had quite a few issues in my ownership which I have fixed them all. One thing that is a complete mystery is when I’m In first gear and I floor it at about 10 mph at about 15 mph it’s cuts all my engine power, my lights and everything stay on but it’s as iff the engine just died but then a split second later it comes back and it’s back to power city

can anyone give me a starting point with this or heard of this before?

….. If the fuel tank is much under half full , its because the fuel is sloshing off the pick-up sock on the bottom of the pump …..
