I guess the tile says it all.

It recently started doing it. It idles pretty smooth so no rough idle or anything. Drives pretty smooth and normal too...but ones i stop at a light or make a u-turn, ...nothing. Engine just shuts off suddenly, don't even notice its off until the steering wheel gets hard to turn or stepping on the gas pedal does nothing. Turn the key and it starts right up.

Any ideas what's going on.

And yeah its a 05 LS1 VZ SS.

does the idle raise slightly when you turn from left to right at a stand still?


What about when you go to neutral from park? When turning the air con on?

If not sounds like the IAC or similar, I know I have issues in my GF's falcon at the moment and need to replace this.

Just figured it out. Turned out to be a loose wire/connector. Guest which one :)

Yes they will. The battery completes the charging circuit.

TPS?

Really? I remember disconnecting the battery while the car was running on numerous occasions...didn't effect anything. Only times it did was when i had bad alternators. Once i even swapped batteries while engine was running.

Anyways...TPS you say? Well, it would be a likely culprit for such conditions...however it was not in this occasion.

Im starting to think no one is going to get this.

You're really going to draw this out, aren't you?
