You're either grounding a wire on those turns or sucking the pan dry from not enough oil in the pan....that's my best guess, anyway, w/o being able to pop your hood and take a look at the wiring situation there.

It's a possibility...w/o seeing the beast itself, it's only an educated guess. It could very well be a wire that looks good on the outside where you can see it but under the dash, it got pinched and the interior strands are finally losing contact with each other in certain positions.

That's not a fix, that's a patch at best. Cut the section of damaged wire out, and replace with new wire using adhesive lined heat shrink to seal the joints. Then apply appropriate harness wrap.
