My 92 stalls when turning left
I'm hoping one of you Vette experts can help me solve this problem. I have a sporatic problem with the engine dying in my 92 Conv with auto. Runs fine for weeks and then will die for no apparent reason and at various speeds. Often happens when I'm doing a lefthand turn.

With all that weight on the ign key when he would make the turn, the key ring would swing just enough to turn off the engine. Drove him nuts until he found that little problem

I'll bet your running a 1/4 tank or less of fuel when the symptoms appear. Keep a half tank or more and your problems will probably disappear. The fuel delivery in a C4 sucks at low volume

My 92 does the same thing when the gas gauge reads a 1/2 tank or less of gas. I put a new fuel pump and fuel filter in and it didn't change a thing.
When you find out what it is let me know.
I know my guage is sometimes way off. Like one time it ran comepletely out of gas and the gauge said it had a 1/4. I went and got a 5 gal can of gas and put that in and the gauge said it was 3/4.
I've learned to just fill up when it reads 1/2.
