As the title says, my car totally turned off while I was making a turn. Earlier before this happened I was stopped, and it acted like it wanted to stall, but didn't. I have a couple ideas what it could be but not too sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Possible vacume leak? I know that vacume leaks make the car almost stall out. Maybe a short in the electrical system somewhere? Anyone work on your car lately?

 

Was your car low on gas? This use to always happen to me when I was low on gas, but i also had a walbro fuel pump and this is a common thing.

 

does it totally turn of electrically, or does the motor just stall....

if its stalling, do u have a powersteering, if so, do u have a p/s oil leak? or maybe it could be a bad p/s oil pressure switch. when u make a turn the motor likes to die or come close to it cause of the extra stress when u turn, the p/s pressure switch fixes that by telling the ecu to bump the idle a little when u turn. if that switch is bad, it could be causing ur motor to stall.

 

The motor acted like it wanted to stall earlier in the day at a dead stop, but didn't. It totally shut off all power to the car. So i guess its not really stalling, just shutting off completely.

 

so no lights stay on in your dash after it dies...?like the check engine light etc..etc...check ur ignition system..or ur ign. switch.
