Did A Handbrakey- And My Car Completely Shut Down

[baby34]

Yo, i was doing a 180 degree handbrake to spin my car (just bord muckin around) n then my car completely shut off.. i had to put it in drive and then i had to take the key and restart the engine to get it working again, why does that happen o_O

lol probably fuel surge... maybe ur handbrakey was too much for the amount of fuel u had in the tank and the pump ran dry which would cause the engine to obviously stop

my old car use to do that as well and also when doing donuts

fuel pump poorly mounted/dying.

when i was at driver dynamics defensive driving. We were given a chance to spin our car 180degree's on wet vinyl.

My car shut off also, clutch was all the way in too.

Ive heard from others that this happens to them too.

I dont think its fuel pump mounting/life related, its something else.

+ 1 experienced it in my auto s15; shut down on a skidpan quite a few times.

had 040 fuel pump and full tank so i think its more AFM based cos i had no BOV and no aftermarket ECU

Mine did it too, turned out it was the fuel pump

Hence i said that. Would do it even with 1/2 tank as it wasnt sitting right

Do jap cars have rollover protection which shuts off the fuel pump? I've heard of this in some cars... It could very well be the car think its rolling due to the massive change in g forces?

You did push the clutch in didn't you?

It's a fat-o-matic

i used to get this alot when i started drifting.. use the handbrake to get it to 90* then dump the clutch and gun it and hopefully it will hook up and spin you the rest of the way, if not, it will send you straight off the road.

i think the cars just go from lots of fuel, to no fuel.. think about it... your cruising at maybe 3-4000 rpm in 3rd, you knock it in to second in the revs rise, then you hit the handbrake and put the clutch in, which unless you keep the revs up, will drop it straight back down to idle very quickly... how many time in normal driving would you drive at 5-6000 rpm in second, and then all of a sudden do a foot shuffle and let the revs drop back to idle... our cars stall soo easily even slowly pulling up to the lights... let alone swinging it around 180*

never managed that one...

but definately dont think its to do with the above post... if that were the case it would also happen on a slow gear change.

not to mention clutching in after a burnout...

Are you guys being serious? automatic, which is like doing a handbrakey in a manual but not putting the clutch in.... you are stopping the driveline from spinning, which slows (stops) the engine from turning over, hence the stalling.... to those in a manual with same issue but you are pushing the cluch in, ignore this post.
