annoying problem!
ok i have a 92 civic sedan with a B18C1 in it. well i just replaced my cracked radiator and ever since it's been wanting to overheat but it goes up and down repeatedly never staying close to the H for more than 10 seconds. well after a short drive last night withthis happening the car for some reason dies everytime i take a turn. The turn has to be a semi hard turn in order for it to shut off. When it does die it sounds like it ran out of gas so i filled it up to a full tank and surprise it still does it. after it dies i have to completely turn the car of and wait a few seconds and it starts back up with no problem. i can drive it for miles in a straight line but a soon as a 90 degree turn comes up it dies.
what can be causing the car to die in a turn like that.
i'm thinking something might be loose but what.

i had a similiar problem when my extended o2 sensor wires would hit the ground and ground out popping my ECU fuse everytime.
but the turning thing is what confuses me

the turning part may just be the reason why it disconnects or connects.
If you extended your O2 wire and didn't insulate it enough to keep it from grounding out, is there a chance that any of the other wires are doing the same?
The main engine ground wires not being grounded well enough will cause the engine to die and will cause the temp gauge to rise like you mention as well.
all though the two may not be related, you may have air in the cooling system.
