What causes a car stall while turning?

1. Low engine idle speed: If the engine idle speed is too low, the engine may not be able to produce enough power to overcome the increased load when turning. This can cause the engine to stall.

2. Faulty idle air control valve: The idle air control valve (IAC) regulates the amount of air that bypasses the throttle body when the engine is idling. If the IAC is faulty, it may not be able to provide enough air to the engine, causing it to stall.

3. Vacuum leaks: Vacuum leaks can cause the engine to run lean, which can lead to stalling. This is because the engine is not getting enough fuel to properly combust the air-fuel mixture.

4. Faulty fuel injector: A faulty fuel injector may not be able to deliver enough fuel to the engine, causing it to stall.

5. Clogged fuel filter: A clogged fuel filter can restrict the flow of fuel to the engine, causing it to stall.

6. Faulty ignition system: A faulty ignition system may not be able to produce a strong enough spark to ignite the air-fuel mixture, causing the engine to stall.

7. Faulty oxygen sensor: A faulty oxygen sensor may not be able to provide accurate feedback to the engine's computer, which can cause the engine to stall.
