Mitsubishi: Hard right turns cause fuel shutoff? '95 GSX

It's possible the fuel sloshed over, but I believe the pickup has a box
around it to prevent that. You may have hit fuel cut. Do you have a boost
controller with stock injectors? Where you at full boost?

The car is totally stock save for the air filter and intake kit that the
previous owner installed. No aftermarket boost controller.

I was not at full boost either time, and actually only in a slight powering
effort, holding the car at around 4.5k the first time in 2nd, 4k in 3rd the
second time. The first time, it seemed to cut off before even powering out
of the turn. If I have the opportunity, I will check either or both
situations again today to try to get more information.

These are both quite long turns (wide 270-degree cloverleaf onramps), if it
matters. The first isn't as wide and has a nasty last little right hook,
and that's where it cut off.

Getting off the gas and back on seemed to cure everything, but I was almost
out of the turn by then as well. I do have an OBD-II scanner here, maybe
I'll have to hook it up and see what's really going on.

Thanks,

Jim

Well, a long turn could do it. The pump is on the passenger side and under
the rear seat. If you ever take it out, you will see that the tank has a
little sheet metal box around the pump that has slots in it. This is
supposed to keep the fuel around the pump in tight turns. There should
always be fuel in there because it can't escape the box (the slots don't go
all the way down). However, a long turn might be long enough for the pump to
drain the little be that remains. I don't know, but I've never had that
problem, even under 20 PSI of boost and with 720 injectors.

I have experienced this as well in a '95 GS. Long right hand off ramp but
only a total of 180 Degrees. I had just installed strut tower bars over a
stock suspension and wanted to test the setup. I entered the corner at 65
and exited at 45. About half-way throught it my car started lurching. I saw
no warning lights on in the dash. I didn't know what was going on. About a
week later on of my bulbs that illuminated my speedo died so I removed the
instrument cluster and decided to check the other bulbs. I found the my low
oil pressure light was also blown. Replaced it as well. About a month or so
later I went around the same corner and low a behold the same thing happened
the only thing different was now my oil pressure light came on. I pulled
into the convienent store and check. I was about a quart low. Filled it up
went down the road came back and the car went iinto the corner at 65mph and
exited at 58 with no lurching.

Upon further examination (with a Chiltons manual) I found the my oil pickup
is on the right side of the pan. Hence hard right turn oil gets sloshed to
left side away from the pickup.

Hope this helps
