HE KEEPS SHUTTING DOWN

Post by g3939 »

Every time I make a hard right turn in my 92gs the engine dies. It will start right back up, and it won't stall every time if it is full of gas. Please help if anyone has ever had this problem before.

That is weird. I think I have encountered this before but only in the older mazda trucks. It maybe the same in your case but not sure. check your gas filler neck in the inner wheel well, check to see if it is rusted or has holes in it. Another thing is your fuel pump could be worn out, and connection could be loose, I have enountered a loose connecton in a new protege and it would run and stall at certain times. <BR>just some suggestions for you to try.

the gas tank was rusted as everyone suggested. I had it cleaned and coated at a radiator shop for $250usd. thanks for the help guys.It runs well all the way to empty now, I almost forgot about the little amber low fuel warning light. :driver:
