Stalling while turning is a common problem that can be caused by a number of factors, including:
* Low fuel pressure: If the fuel pressure is too low, the engine will not be able to get enough fuel to keep running. This can be caused by a number of things, such as a clogged fuel filter, a faulty fuel pump, or a leak in the fuel line.
* Faulty ignition system: If the ignition system is not working properly, the spark plugs will not be able to fire properly and the engine will stall. This can be caused by a number of things, such as faulty spark plugs, a bad ignition coil, or a faulty distributor.
* Vacuum leak: A vacuum leak can cause the engine to stall by allowing unmetered air to enter the engine. This can be caused by a number of things, such as a cracked vacuum hose, a loose vacuum line, or a faulty PCV valve.
* Faulty idle air control valve: The idle air control valve is responsible for controlling the amount of air that enters the engine at idle. If the idle air control valve is faulty, the engine will not be able to idle properly and will stall.
* Dirty throttle body: A dirty throttle body can cause the engine to stall by restricting the airflow into the engine. This can be caused by a number of things, such as carbon deposits, oil buildup, or dirt and debris.
How to fix a car that stalls when turning
If your car is stalling when turning, there are a few things you can do to try to fix the problem:
* Check the fuel pressure. You can do this by using a fuel pressure gauge. The fuel pressure should be within the manufacturer's specifications.
* Inspect the ignition system. Check the spark plugs, ignition coils, and distributor (if applicable) for damage or wear. Replace any faulty components.
* Check for vacuum leaks. Inspect the vacuum hoses and lines for cracks or leaks. Tighten any loose connections and replace any damaged hoses.
* Clean the throttle body. Remove the throttle body from the engine and clean it with a throttle body cleaner. Be sure to clean the throttle plate and the idle air control valve.
* Replace the idle air control valve. If the idle air control valve is faulty, it will need to be replaced.
If you are unable to fix the problem yourself, you should take your car to a mechanic.
