Car dies on left turn drift.

Remove this ad
Taking off TC and stabilitrack I have noticed the car dies half way through a tail out sweeping turn or U Turn. Do a U turn and punch it so the tail comes around and the car dies/stalls mid way through and in some cases changes the XM band to the weather alert band. She stumbles a bit then decides to fire back up and take off. It feels like the old carb days when you flooded the bowl. Is this common or designed this way? It's really annoying when you are "stunting on a Z06" waiting at the light and in the middle of all the noise your car looses about %80 of its power and you limp along for the next 20 feet or so.

Re: Car dies on left turn drift.

Well, I would 'guess' that you have a loose connection of some sort, possibly in a harness that when pressure is applied to it on left turns, loses contact and then returns to normal when you straighten out. I would say it's related to electrical since the XM, etc also is affected. I know the XM receiver is tied into the starting system on many of these cars. We had one with an intermittent no start that ended up being due to the XM box. I would start the car and while it's running, go around and do a pull test on all the harnesses (gently tug and wiggle on every harness you can reach) Gently banging on the inside panels and console might also reveal a faulty connection as well. If the engine stumbles, stalls or otherwise while you're doing this, you've found the faulty connection.

Then again, there's always taking it to the dealer and letting them diagnose it under warranty (if still under warranty) Fortunately your problem sounds like it's easy to diagnose and will happen every time. Intermittent problems are the hardest to diagnose so consider yourself lucky on this one.

Re: Car dies on left turn drift.

If you are low on gas it can act like that. Your tank is like upside down camel humps as it staddles the driveshaft, the main fuel pump is in one side and the transfer pump is in the other side. Under boost conditions, if the side with the REAL fuel pump, which I believe is the left side, runs out of fuel during a hard turn, the right side pump or transfer pump does not pump as much as the REAL fuel pump does. So, you may simply be out of gas on one side until it equalizes.

Try that kind of stuff whith more than 1/2 tank of gas and it should work better.

I don't know if that link will work on you alls' computer, but it is a diagaram of the pumps.

Re: Car dies on left turn drift.

Same thing happens on the track in my CTS-V. When fuel is really low and I go into a hard left handed turn the car will stumble and nearly stall.
