    weird hesitation after a curve

    my car sometimes exhibits a very weird issue,, i couldn't even log it,,
    after a sharp quick turn to the right,, it hesitates just like a fuel cut off or a misfire only for a moment and then drives ok,,
    i don't any more info about that but i hope someone has ever come around a similar issue before,,

    thanks,,
    09 CTS-V A6

    What kind of car? Fuel tank setup? Is this a swapped car or a stock car? The CTS-V in your sig?

    If it is a swapped car it is a very common thing when fuel level is low.

    fuel level was right in the middle,,

    I meant older swapped cars, because their fuel tanks don't have baffles in them to keep the fuel from moving around. Yours is way newer than that though, it'll be interesting to see what is causing that.

    I would check the wiring harness to ensure there are no loose grounds and / or a power wire isn't grounding out.

    I always log ignition voltage just for that reason. Often it's a wasted PID, but occasionally there is a brief voltage drop right when things get weird.
