Go lf’s broken again. Another weird one I’ve never experienced. I drove it down the street fine, then turned the corner and... nothing. No power at all, started stalling out the second I slipped the clutch. I was getting lots of misses, backfire sounds, and some high pitched pinging... Maybe I clogged the cat? Maybe timing slipped? Bad coil? Who knows.
Crap. Guess the Saturn is my daily now...

Bummer! At least the weather is nicer around here now . The Saturn always preferred cooler weather.

Huh. What wiring? Injector pigtails?
Fuel filter looks original so... yeah, that

Ha, yeah. I have the ECTS (2 wire, to fan relay) unplugges so the fans run constantly right now. If I don’t, it overheats in traffic. I should replace that sensor, I have a new one.

Check battery grounds?

Check ignition or battery first, but could be something else if you’re getting cut off while cornering. Timing sensor,etc.

It was a corner from a stop, then I couldn’t pull away from a stoplight (going straight). I think it’s a fuel delivery problem. I unplugged the MAF to put it in open loop, still no go. Could also be timing as it was off a tooth but it’s been like that since I bought it (PO said for autocross purposes). Only timing sensor is the hall on the distributor, which has been out of range forever because of the previously mentioned timing issue.

I didn't notice any other electrical issues and I was moving it by bumping the starter motor, so I don't think it's that either...

Tps?

Maybe? I'll start with the fuel filter since it needs changed anyways most likely, then work my way in.

You have very eclectic tastes.

This sounds like a Car Talk. Like... turning the corner causes the loose battery to short out onto something or....the ghost of your ex is haunting it. But, given it is a VW, my first guess would indeed be electrical.
