    Corner Hesitation

    It was a problem before when I would drive thru the canyons & after a turn or two the motor would hit 3k & stop. Throttle to the floor and it just sits at 3k until I let off completely & the rpms drop then its ok to accelerate again. It happens alot more often now & Im looking for ideas here

    I know I may be low on coolant & that was an issue at the track previously.

    I am wondering if it might be the oil pushing to one side of the engine?

    Maybe a fuel issue?

    Any ideas are welcome

    That would make me think of a fuel problem or an AFM problem.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

        When does this happen.

        After long fast righthand turns?

        Long fast lefthanders?

        What specific driving circumstances, if any, lead to the hesitation?

        My car was bogging down on long, fast righthanders. Turns out the fuel pump didn't have the prefilter intake sock, so the pickup was about an inch off the floor of the tank ...

        A weak fuel pump can cause similar symptoms.
