Engine Stall With High G Force

[350MJ]

Lately I've noticed that my engine seems to cut out when i take a turn at high speed. I haven't taken it on an off ramp of a highway yet, I'm too afraid it'll stall. Any ideas what it could be?

Comanches aren't a Corvette or a Ferrari... what kind of high-speed turns are you doing? Engine? Details?

News to me.. haha

 

Sounds like there isn't enough fuel getting into the engine. When's the last time you did a tune up and cleaned the fuel injectors? Is your fuel tank low when making those turns? How long do you have to be pulling one of those high G turns before your engine quits?

And a poor man's F-18 to pull high Gs.

This one's easy. Don't do doughnuts and it won't stall. The centrifugal force turn may be pushing fuel away from the pump. Does it happen with a full tank?

This thread makes me sense another comanche ending up in a salvage yard in the near future.

Hey, the difference between a cold donut and a hot donut is I can eat 6 cold ones and 48 hot donuts, that's the difference.

Maybe you have a carburetted 2.8L V-6? If so, the fuel in your float bowl could be sloshing up the sides so far that you are starving the engine of fuel in your high-G turns.

I disagree. Assuming it's done safely, donuts and the like aren't a bad way to learn to deal with skids.

There is a reason most NASCAR drivers come from the South: they grew up driving pickup trucks sideways on muddy dirt roads.  :yes:

 

I think some level of this should be taught in Driver's Ed, or that at least there should be insurance discounts for drivers successfully completing a high-performance driving instruction course.
