When a car stalls when making sharp turns, it's usually related to a fuel delivery problem.
Here are a few reasons why this might happen:
1. Fuel Filter Clogged: A clogged fuel filter can restrict fuel flow to the engine, especially during high-demand situations such as sharp turns. Check your fuel filter and replace it if necessary.
2. Fuel Pump Issues: A failing fuel pump may not be able to provide enough fuel to the engine, especially when the vehicle is making sharp turns. Check your fuel pump and replace it if needed.
3. Fuel Line Issues: Damaged or kinked fuel lines can restrict fuel flow to the engine. Inspect the fuel lines for any issues and replace them if necessary.
4. MAF (Mass Air Flow) Sensor Issue: A dirty or faulty MAF sensor can provide incorrect air-to-fuel ratio information, leading to stalling during sharp turns. Clean or replace the MAF sensor if needed.
5. Faulty Throttle Position Sensor: A malfunctioning throttle position sensor can lead to incorrect fuel delivery, causing the engine to stall. Test the throttle position sensor and replace it if necessary.
6. Vacuum Leaks: Vacuum leaks can cause loss of vacuum pressure in the engine, which can lead to stalling. Check for vacuum leaks and seal any that you find.
7. Faulty Ignition System: Issues with the spark plugs, spark plug wires, ignition coil, or ignition module can disrupt proper spark timing, causing the engine to stall. Inspect the ignition system components and replace any that are worn out or damaged.
If you've checked all these items and the issue persists, it's recommended to have the vehicle diagnosed by a qualified mechanic who can inspect and identify the specific cause of the stalling issue when making sharp turns.
