964 stalling
Hi guys Happy New Year!
My car start to stall on a tight bend or when turning fast and continue after that engine light comes on.
I was thinking is something related with loosing fuel pressure maybe fuel pump or pressure regulator?
Any thoughts?
Thanks

I am curious, what made you think it's electrical? Why would electrical be g-force dependent in tight corners? I think fuel pressure could be the issue here. You may have some debris at the bottom of your fuel tank that shifts in tight and fast corners partially obstructing the fuel line out of the tank. Your fuel pressure regulator is a less likely culprit here but "easily" checked. If you get fuel when you pull its vacuum line, you have a bad regulator but that usually manifests itself in bad warm start behavior.

Thank you all for your thoughts, I think I found out what happened, I sent my afm to be recalibrated and I found a piece of plastic inside the cap which was stuck in the moving arm crazy…
‘All good now.
Thanks again!

Or fuel filter. Mine cut out when I was at one of the turns at Road America. Didn’t stall but cut out at the exact same spot over a course of a practice session. Changed the fuel filter and solved problem.
