87 verde engine in 83 GTV6.
Driving on the track at the national event in Detroit.
Out side temp 95 degrees. During practice session, car ran great for the first three laps. Then it started to cut out in the hard right hand turns. It didn't sputter or lose power, it jut went dead like a switch went off. Drift through the corner and straighten out and it would come on as quick as it went off.
No problem in the left turns or straights. Parked the car and it idles perfect, engine temp never above 175. Gas tank over three quarters full. Wiggled some wires on the fire wall, found a loose connection and secured it. Took the car out for second practice and it ran great for three laps and again cut out in the right hand turns. Parked the car and it idles and revs fine. Shut it down and waited for the time trials. About one hour later ran the warm up lap and first hot lap without a problem, actually set my fastest lap of the day, on the third lap it started again cutting out in the right handers. Drove the car 20 min. back to detroit without a problem.
Next day drove to the auotcross, ran the first three runs and then it all started again, cutting out in right hand turns. Then drove the car 5 hours home on the freeway without a problem, did not take any exit ramps hard enough to make it cut out. Can't be a fuel level problem, why ok after sitting for 1 hour. Not a fuel pressure problem, pulled inertial switch and engine doesn't cut out so fast, fuel rail still pressurized. Any suggestions would be helpfull.
