Like the topic states...my mx stalls when you take a left turn. it is a 95 RS auto... it has stalled like this for quite sometime...since i have got the car a year ago. does anyone have any idea at all what the problem is?? im looking to sell my car sometime soon so i think i need to fix this if its not too big of a problem. any type of attempt to help is greatly appreciated!

I've seen this one a few times and every time I see it I think it seems so unlikely..... There could be some debris in the tank that blocks the fuel pick up in the tank on left hand corners. Fix - pull out the fuel pump and clean out any rubbish in the tank.

Hope it works! Good luck.

I agree. same thing happened to my 1st project car, there was gunk in the tank. I just replaced the tank. Was a PITA, but I found a new one online for like 135 bucks.

WOAH my moms car (escort gt ) stalled on me today while giving a left turn!!! I was speeding and then i slowed down and turned left then boom..died out. COuldnt start i was like wtf...then it started like 2 minutes later.... I finally figured this happened becuase I messed with the automatic transmission cable.. It was set way over half. I tried it againa nd it stalled again..failed to release 4th gear and dies out..so I messed with the loine and walla it worked...im hopiong this is your problem also? Im assuming they got the same tranny?
