Weird Problem need ideas.

Alright this is a weird problem, On my 91 when I take a corner somewhat sharp the motor starts to cut out through the turn then it stumbles for a minute and starts going fine again. The weird part is that my radar detector will cut out then back on quickly. It happens with a full tank of fuel. I have checked all main battery connections and they are tight. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

May want to check all of your grounds (not just the one on the battery). Could be that your cab isn't grounded good enough with the strap and when the weight shifts (in a sharp turn) you loose ground. I've been known to be wrong though.


Good Luck,

Dave

I also forgot to add that I can drive down the roughest dirt road and it does not do it. I am going to climb under it here in a few minutes.

does it do it when you're just sitting there and turning the wheel? it might also have something to do with the power steering pressure switch (which is on the hose) that comes on the 5.0s.

I got it fixed. The battery was actually sliding and the positive was grounding to the body. Thanks.
