'98 SLE loses power around corners.
Sorry if this has been posted before i couldnt find any threads related to this prob.
I would say that 90% of the time when i go around a corner and touch my gas pedal my car hesitates for a few seconds before accelerating.Im not going around the corner fast at all but some times its like im not touching the gas pedal at all.
Ive noticed that if i get off the gas completly for a second it is more responsive when i get back on it but if i keep the gas down it just bogs.
Any ideas?

Dudley, Welcome to BC. This sounds like a fuel related problem. This phenonema occurs only when going around a corner such as a 90 degree turn? Is it specific to left or right turns? How does it respond when taking a clover leaf on/off ramp? I'd start with the basics by checking fuel delivery at the fuel rail with a pressure gage looking for steady state fuel pressure. Some other 92-99 GH'* should chime in soon with more details and things to check.

It doesnt matter how much gas i have,it happens when my tank is full and when i have 1/4 tank.My battery is clamped down.
I noticed today that if i am starting around a corner from a dead stop it doesnt do it half has bad has it does when im going around a corner at say 10-15 MPH.
HELP!!

The car doesnt make any strange sounds going around a corner,and no i cant check my fuel pressure.
I really dont even know where to start with this prob,i have a couple of buddies who are mechanics and they're stumped has well.
