Well whenever i make a hard right hand turn with my clutch pushed in my car dies. Its a 1986 325 eS with 270,xxx on it. It doesn't sputter or anything it just dies? When i leave the clutch out (when in gear) and make a hard right it jerks really hard (trying to die) but since its in gear it doesn't. Any ideas? Oh and its only when i make right hand turns no other time.

Does it happen on every hard right turn regardless of speed? If it only happens at higher speed I might suspect a fuel feed problem with the low pressure pump. Especially if it is worse on a partial tank. If it happens even at low speed I'd then to think that some wire is shorting out as you turn.The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

Its completely and totally random, but becoming more and more frequent. It is more frequent the lower on fuel i get though. And it happens at low and high speeds.Comment

I suspect fuel delivery issue. My guess is you do not have adequate fuel pressure. I would look for a fuel leak or a hole somewhere.
I say this as when you turn right all the fuel in your gas tank goes to the left of the tank. This normally has no effect on the amount of fuel going into the engine as there is pressure forcing the fuel into the lines. If you do not have pressure you are using gravity to do the work and when you turn right you starve your engine. I would check in some common areas like the FPR, Fuel rail, connector underneath the intake manifold and the gas tank itself.Comment

Well I do have a small fuel leak somewhere near my fuel filter but its been there a while? and this problem is recent. And I'll go out and check all the other stuff you posted on that other site as well. At the same time I attempt to fix the tire that the idiots at PepBoys Didn't torque down tight enough so it came loose while driving...Comment
