For about a year now, the car stumbles when going around corners, where I
can't figure out what the stumbling is due to.

It didn't used to be so consistent but it's getting worse over time so now
it's finally noticeable that it's the turns and not something else that
makes it stumble for a split second.

What should I look for to see why an engine stumbles momentarily around
corners, but doesn't set the CEL or any pending OBD codes?


If you have a carburetor and take a corner really hard the gas can slosh
to one side and cause a stumble. Airplanes had to have the right setup
in order to fly inverted.

Of course, I'm making wild assumptions since you gave no other details.


Since he says OBD and CEL, I don't think it could have a carb?
But it's another classic asking for car help and not identifying
what car it actually is. I'd suspect maybe sludge in the gas tank?
