HELP! 430 miles from home...
So I drive my SVX all the way to Reno from so cal.... makes it all the way no problems. It sits for a while, cools all the way down..... I start it up, its fine for about 60 seconds until i make a hard left turn onto the main street, where it stalls out and wont start. It cranks fine, I looked under the driver side timing cover, the belt is on and seems tight. I can hear the fuel pump come on with the key..... it just died after the turn and now wont start! Does anyone have ANY possible ideas on why this may have happened after a cooldown following a long drive? I wasnt stressing the motor when it happened.... was just driving normally turning left. Im stuck here until I can fix it Thanks

Any check engine light? I would probably check codes and if that comes up negative, would probably pull a line from the fuel filter and do a quick on/off with the key and see if you are getting fuel.

I would go with crank angle sensor, cam sensor, or temperature sensor. Mine was very intermittent until one day when it decided it will never start again. Then it was time to replace the sensor and all was well again
