Oil level sensor question
Anybody have a similar problem: If I make a very sharp left turn the engine cuts out. I'm sure it's the oil level sensor doing it.
The question is can this be disconnected (provided I religiously check the oil)?
Thanks in advance, all.

To the best of my knowledge the oil level sensor has squat to do with the engine cutting off, ever. Some people find that the cutting off of the engine during hard cornering is caused by the filter that is mounted in the gas tank, on the fuel pump being clogged. Mine was clear as a bell but clogged by a clear varnish type material that caused gas to remain in the filter even withh the pump held out of the gas tank. Try getting both a new fuel filter that is located close to the left side of the engine and also a new filter for the fuel pump in the gas tank. Sometimes called a fuel strainer. Also look for debris in the tank. Takes maybe fifteen to twenty minutes to take the fuel pump out of the car. Extinguish your cigarette prior to doing the above.
