Stalling

Blacksn95 · 03-17-2001, 10:52 PM

Hey, Guys I'm kind of new here and just want to say Hi.

Ayways my problem is that my 94 gt stall when the steering is turned fully to the left or fully to the right. This happens occasionally. And another problem is when I reverse up a steep driveway my car seems to idle iradically or stall. Could this problem be related to my fuel pump. My car Idles at approximately 600-700 rpm

Sounds to me like your idle is to low. Is it 5sp or auto?

I've heard of some cars having wiring harnesses that are too tight...hence the stalling while the steering is locked. The turning force can jar the engine slightly and tug on a wiring harness....causing the car to stall. As for reversing up a steep driveway...I think Rustang is right. Sounds like your idle is a bit too low. I doubt it's the fuel pump. If anything with your car's @ss end higher than the engine the fuel should get gravity to assist it in it's trip to the engine. Sounds like a sensor problem to me. Run a diagnostic and see what codes you can pull.

Not sure what it is, but me and another here are having trouble on the 94-95's as well. My car, at idle, "lopes" every few seconds, and coming up to a stop sign, it seems like it will stall, but doesnt. There are no sensor codes, Ford had it for two days and found nothing out of normal. Let us know what you come up with....
