When i turn hard left the engine seems to stall and cutout but as soon as the turn is complete it catches and runs normal. 87 t2 idles normal no smoke engine serived every 2000 miles not really sure what is causeing it. Car is 5 speed not sure but could loose engine mounts mabye cause this?

 

i have know clue but maybe just maybe your power steering has something to do with it.

 

My car did the same thing on left turns only and it was the fuel pump. Actually, there is a nylon fine mesh screen on the pickup end of the pump (in the gas tank) that gets dirty enough to restrict fuel flow. When I removed my pump, I discovered that mine was missing altogether. Someone before me had cut costs (or was just an idiot) and replaced the pump without installing the screen. I replaced my pump with a Walbro 255 lph pump that I got from eBay. This is a popular pump used on these cars. I think I paid around $100 for mine shipped. You are probably having your problems more often on less than a full tank. Try filling up all the way, if it goes away but returns when the tank is closer to empty, it's likely your pump and/ or pickup screen.

 

thanks for backing me up on that jeff i didn't know what i was talking about.

 

When you think about it, it makes perfect sense about the pump. As I remember, the pump is mounted on the driver's side of the tank. When you turn left, gas is sloshing away from the pump. The pickup screen holds a small amount of fuel to help give a reserve amount for the pump to work with until you complete the turn. A full tank is less likely to slosh enough fuel away from the pump to cause momentary stalling. Hope all this helps.

 

will try pump car has no pwr steering lol its all rack-n-pinoin so that rules that out
