Hey guys, I have a boy that is having some problems with his car. This is what he is describing to me.

"my car has been dying on me alot the last couple days. Most of the time it happens when I'm turning right, whether it be fast or slow, the dash lights will flicker and then it will shut down, idling extremely low right before it dies. Today it died and I was just sitting still at a light."

What could it be; electrical, fuel, or other?

Thanks.

 

Sounds like the general malaise of a bad alternator.

bad ground ive had the same thing happen to me the ground goin to my starter did it for me.

 

yes bad ground probably the one on the battery

 

thanks guys i will pass it on

 

also check the drivers side whell well liner. Turbojeff had a wheel rub thru the liner and shred the wiring underneath. I believe the CAS wiring,ignitor, and some other needed circuits are in that area. He went thru about 4 MAP sensors before he found the problem.Which would affect idle and other areas of the engine rpm's. Someplace to check.
It definetly sounds like a electrical gremlin though instead of fuel etc..

 

Also, I've seen this before with a bad harness under the black shield that protects the wheels.

makes sense. his tires do rub.
