i've got a problem with my Civic ( 93 civic HB with D15B VTEC ), when i turn hard or long left turns the car starts to sputter then it cuts out. Some times i get a backfiring sound when it does this. When i turn right it drives normal. It does it sometimes when i am goin up hill also.
I went to the mechanic and he told me that it sound electrical.

Here is what is wrong with the car other than that:-
Pressure plate is damaged so the car is hard to move off.
when i turn on the a/c all the electricals inside the car die, such as gauge cluster, clock, dash lights. and when i check the fuses there is a 10A that it blows.
The sensor that sends the Temperature to the dash and ECU ( under the distributor had broke, so i got new sensors and joined the wires to my exsisting harness using wire connectors.

Other than those 2 the car is fine.

Here is what was done b4 the turning left problem:-

I had changed the throw out bearing ( knock out bearing) on the gear box.
the car had got hit, and broke the from bumper on the left side by the water bottle ( next to the condenser), and it bent the control arm on the left front wheel.

but all of that had been fixed .

Lastly when i bridge the ECU to get the code. the CEL just stays on it never flashes


Anyone know what can cause this problem when i turn left?
Any suggestions and solutiions will be much appreciated thanks

 

my sister had a protege that this happened to. it turned out to be gunk in the fuel system. looks like you have some electrical problems though.

 

Did your car have a washed up modeling career in its history by chance? I know of someone else this happened too but he was really really really good looking.

 

Sounds like you have yourself an ambiturner.

 

When you reinstalled the tranny did you double check the ground on the thermostat. Also the ground from the tranny to the frame rail?

Best way to check your gas is to take the line off the rail and cut the top off a coke can mountain dew can whatever. Clean it out real good and dry it. Have a friend prime (turn key on and fuel pump for 2 seconds) while you are holding the line into the cup.
Wear safety glasses and have rags handy just in case.
Let the gas sit in can for about 10 minutes and let everything settle. This will tell you what your gas looks like.
If it is shitty, you will have to remove tank, empty, clean really really well. Clean or replace your fuel pumps filter. Intsall everything. Replace fuel filter and reprime everything through that hose again. Then hook it back up. Start car and rev to like 4000 rpm for about 1 or 2 minutes to "force" the junk leftover through your injectors.

Ask me how I know. lol

Also check all your grounds in the engine bay, lose grounds are a bitch.
