Engine wants to die whenever I turn quickly??

Here it is:

whenever I take a "sporty" turn, the engine wants to stall (no power) just like it does when the DSC shuts the engine... but the DSC is turned off...

In straight line, it is all good...

A really annoying problem...

Anyone got an idea??

sounds to me like you are losing power etc lue to lack of spark ie there could be a problem with your ignition, maybe a lose wire so that when you straighten up it re connects and you have the spark again

do you lose lighting or stereo?


More Air + More Fuel = More Power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have heard this problem now and then, it is often low fuel level moving away from the pickup causing a momentary fuel pressure drop, try it on a full tank and see if it still does it.
