964 Turbo - Cuts out in hard corners
Discussion
My 1992 964 Turbo drives well but has a problem.
Whenever I take a hard corner (90 degree or so) at speed, the car momentarily cuts out. Literally just for a second and the dash lights illuminate like it would if it had stalled (which in effect it has).
It happens only occasionally then is back to running greet in a second but I can replicate it on the same corner over and over again. It’s only when the car is pulling some ‘G’ and also happened once when I went over a dip in the road when accelerating hard.
Seems electrical? It doesn’t splutter so may not be fuel related?
It’s driving me crazy (no pun intended).
Any thoughts on a remedy?
Car has covered 45,000 miles and was stored for 10 years.

In my experience, where something like this has happened, it has always been the main braided earth strap which has deteriorated. They are a consumable and it is quite common. It first happened to me in an Uno diesel: a bump / corner combo caused a momentary power loss, followed by the glow plug light coming on (which made it FAR easier to diagnose).
