Okay, aside from the horrable cold start problems and the stubborn driver window, i love my car. However, a new problem has developed. It seems whenever i take a hard left turn, say to do a u-turn or through the parking garages, my engine cuts out like i'm running out of fuel. i thought it was because i was low on gas, but after i filled it up, it still did it just tonight.



Any ideas. I figure its another problem i will give to my mechanic over the Christmas break.

 

i've heard of this before and i think it has something to do with the fuel pump. maybe a sensor on it or something, but 2 people i know had the same problem when turning hard...someone on here must know what i'm talking about...

 

I like that drawing in your signature, real clean. From inital design to final product. you draw it?

 

yup...just a pic of my car in the background...if only i had REALLY designed the FC lol

 

IS the AFM on the stock location and at the correct angle?

 

yeah thats awesome.

 

help this guy pleez ! sounds like a loose wire in/on the fuel pump or a broken fuel pump pickup

 

i would think its a bad wire somewhere. when it does it does it start right back up? does the engine die and everything else stay on?

I have a friend with an mx6, and everytime he turns hard his car will shut off. We took it to a guy i know who has a mazda shop. I forgot exactly what he said the problem was, but it wasnt loose wires. I would have to ask him again. I have to run up to his shop later today, so i'll ask him.

 

sidewinder did ya find out yet ?



this happened to me once or twice in my gxl last summer, under really hard turns, it would cut for just a moment then come back strong after the cornering g's were down... I assumed it was a loose wire somewhere and it only happened twice.
