Shuts down while turning

[gomills516]

So finally the car runs but one more problem as everytime i drive and apporach a turn the car shuts off and when i release off the cluthch the car turns back on and everything is back to normall but if im just going on a straight away i dont have his problem

What can this be??

what do you mean it runs fine now ? what was wrong with it before? does your car smoke ? explain more clearly so we can help you . to be honest with what you mentioned nobody can ever help you. explain more.

The car drives fine while going on a straight path for example a highway once i exit the highway lets say i approach a right turn going 20 mph and i down-shift from 3rd gear to 2nd the car just shuts off and if i catch it quick enough i release the clutch and lightly step on the gas and the car comes bact to life it doesnt smoke or anything

Hopefully this is clearer

If you have a lightened flywheel it can cause it. I have a act street lite and it does the same shit, especially down hill.

i do have a lightented flywheel so is there anything i can do to prevent this

Is your battery tied down good? I had a gst once and the battery hold down was either loose or missing. When I would take a turn the positive battery wire would ground out on the TB elbow for a split second and shut the car off until I was going straight again. I would make sure something similar isn't happening to you.

With a proper downshift you wouldn't have enough time to have it stall out. I never proper downshift because I have a bad knee so it's usually too stiff for it. You can also give it a few revs when you push the clutch in.

You can also try heel/toe downshifting.

Ill check the battery and thank for the tipp

Mine did this. What sucks is that the power steering dies with the engine and you have to break your arms to keep it off the curb if it stalls bad enough. I have a fidanza flywheel but alot of the problem was coming from a bad IAC with improperly set BISS

 

[gomills516]

whats the IAC

Idle Air Control

Do you think the pump is putting excessive load on the engine? How is the fluid level?

I had a similar problem once. Turned out to be a bad battery terminal connection. Check your pos. terminal connector and make sure all the wires are secured to it properly.

 

[teenvette77]

any updates?

 

[gomills516]

Na nothing yet but i mentioned the IAC to another mechanic and he said it cant be because the car idles perfect he said it could possibly be a LEAK

what do you think

the lightened flywheel can cause this because the extra load from the turn and the fact that the stock fly wheel was helping the motor continue rotating without throttle ( slow revs but more reliable )

This happened on my 91, I ended up having to back out the BISS and adjust the throttle up to 850 to keep it from happening using a EPROM ecu ( 7 years ago before DSMLink was even really available )

best bet is a retune your idle some how
