  • engine stalled while taking sharp curve!?

    wtf, never happened before... going into a curve, pulling some g force (not hardcore, but slightly), and engine stalls! I almost crashed into the guardrail cuz power steering went out. When it stalled, clutch was in (therefore engine was disconnected from drivetrain)...

    You were probably low on gas... below a quarte of a tank, the fuel can slosh to one side, and leave the fuel pump pickup in the air, and then it will die. My old 89 firebird did this real bad, like all the time under a half tank, but I think our 4th gens have some like spongey like material in them, to prevent this from happening, but it still can under 1/4 a tank like I said. Good luck, ;)
