[fuel starvation]

My comment:

the engine was racing [or missing], a sure sign that it was being starved of fuel

Alternatively, if the writing style is less formal/technical, you could simply say that 'not enough fuel was getting through' :-)

fuel starvation

My references:

Fuel starvation and fuel exhaustion (sometimes referred to as fuel depletion) are problems that can affect internal combustion engines fuelled by either diesel, kerosene, petroleum or any other combustible liquid or gas. If no fuel is available for an engine to burn, it cannot function. All modes of transport powered by such engines can be affected by this problem, but the consequences are most significant when it occurs to aircraft in flight.

This may be the concept but then wouldn't one say something with fuel starved rather than fuel starvation??
