Hi, I was driving my car pretty hard along a curvy road when I came up to a turn breaked pretty hard put the clutch all the way in and stalled. At least I think I did, all the lights in my car went off my brake pedal locked up along with my steering. I was going around 60 and I managed to slowy pull off to the side of the road and was able to start it agian with out any problem. It was not hot or anything outside when I was driving and my engine temperature and oil pressure both were fine on the gauges. This happend once before around two weeks ago but had not happened agian until tonight. I think it might be the clutch because it slips pretty bad when i floor it in 3rd or 4th gear but I am not sure. If anyone has any ideas about what might be causing this please post. Thanks
 
check your BOV to dump tube hose, if its loose or disconnected it can make you stall when you push the clutch in after boosting. mine made me stall a couple times when i was forced to vent for a week
 
that's why i said maybe it could've maybe been little elves too but that's unlikely

hmmmm..... is your bov staying open a little bit maybe?
 
I don't think it is the BOV becuase I had let the clutch in for a second or two and had been breaking for a second or two and then my car just stalled when I was midway in the turn.
 
I just got it checked out and it is because I have a bad 02 sensor and the ECU could not tell how much gas to give me.
