stall on right turns

[chronix2121]

i never had this problem before and i need some help. i have a 01 malibu with the 3400 and whenever i make a right turn my car loses power and dies on me. turning left is okay but anytime in the right direction. can you help?

Have you checked your oil level?

[chronix2121]

yeah i checked the oil and she looks fine. im gonna try to upload a vid so you can see what it's doing.

Fuel filter clogged? Making a right turn would slosh the fuel/debris towards the direction of flow and maybe plug up the line there... Sounds crazy but possible if it's got a big chunk or lots of crap in it... Or it could be a problem with the pump assembly in the tank possibly. I'd try the filter first though.. lol

No wires being pulled on or anything??

Another thread said wiring harness on top of fuel pump goes bad... I'd start looking there and then go further checking the pump and assembly.... Not sure if the malibu has a top access cover for teh fuel pump or not...

i lifted her up and didnt see any pulled or bare wires. i wanted to change out the fuel filter but i couldn't get a rachet to fit comfortable enough for me to take it off.

[IsaacHayes]

Ratchet? you mean wrench? The evap canister can be moved/taken off I hear to get to the filter better.

i would bet on an electrical problem too
its probably a loose connection somewhere like the battery or remote boost terminal. i had a similar problem with my stereo cutting out on bumpy roads... but when it cut out it would beep like i shut the ignition off.
fix was the fuse was loose! lol i twisted the ends of the fuse and re-installed. 2 years since and the car has yet to have the radio cut out.

[chronix2121]

yeah i meant wrench. having a long day sorry. well im trying to uoload the vid, but can't get it. yeah when i give it about more than 25% throttle from a stop she will get up to 25-30 and stutter.

If you aren't already, upload it to a site like YouTube or Photobucket and then paste the link in the thread. We don't really have the resources to host videos (well, we do, but not as well as those sites).

you will notice it around the 4 sec mark

Are you low on gas or is the sending gauge bad? Does it do it only when low on gas?

[chronix2121]

ive ran low on gas before and it's never done it. i did hit a big pothole the morning before she started acting up.

[bszopi]

Sounds like its a wiring issue then. When you turn right, something is shifting, which in turn is either shorting out wires or something similar. When you turn left, the object is shifting the opposite direction, therefore not affecting the wiring. When you hit the pothole, the object again affected the wiring and caused your issues.

[chronix2121]

Well i got 4 days off to go through the wires and see whats loose or not tightened. any thoughts on where to start?
