Sputtering when turning right... 2009 model with no warning lights

hey all, i’ve got a 2009 model that sputters only when i’m turning right, especially on an incline. other than that, it runs and idles just fine. no warning lights or anything. i’ve checked a few things but still haven’t figured it out. anyone else had this happen?

could be a fuel issue, especially if it’s happening on a right turn. have you checked the fuel pressure or fuel pump?

yeah, i’m leaning towards a fuel issue now. was thinking it might be the fuel pump wiring too.

sometimes loose wiring in the fuse box or near the fuel pump can cause weird issues on turns. try a wiggle test while the engine’s running to see if there’s any change.

could a bad motor mount be causing it to feel like a sputter? i’ve seen that a couple of times, especially if everything else checks out.

interesting thought. i’ll check that too if the fuel test doesn’t show anything.

if you’re checking the fuel pump wiring, try looking for any loose connections around the fuse box. sometimes just reseating those connections can help.

hope it’s an easy fix for you! fuel and wiring issues can be tricky but seem like good places to start.
