I finally got the the point when my project car is running well and I have one last issue I need to address. The engine cuts out / dies when going around a corner. This is with a full tank of gas. I can make a u-turn and it it will sputter and die 1-2 seconds and then roar back to life. I can also go around a corner at speed and the engine will sputter/ backfire out the exhaust for a brief second before running regularly again. It doesn't matter left or right turn. Anyone have any theories?
Stock '71 w/ Djet. This is on my build thread car so nearly everything has been gone through or replaced. New fuel system, clean tank etc. Thanks http://w.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=248776 |

I went out and checked everything suggested. Battery is secure. Nothing appeared obvious in the distributor. Coil is also tight and not hitting anything. I have not checked the lines under the tank yet.
I then wanted to try to isolate the issue so I used a long fuel hose and routed a fuel pressure gage to the cockpit and went for a drive. When doing U-turns I repeatably noticed a significant drop in fuel pressure. This tells me that it's either an obstruction in the fuel lines somewhere or that it's an electrical issue for the fuel pump. Next step will be to pull the belly pan to check for any pinched lines. |
