Random stalls while turning

Ok, so lets cut to the chase. This has only happened twice, but it still concerns me. One time I was turning left and all the sudden the car shuts off. It started right back up, though. Luckily momentum carried me through the intersection.

The second time was today, and all i did was shift into neutral to start breaking and again it just died. Started right back up.

Neither time did it sputter or anything like that. 2 things I think it could be: One, when I had my car tuned the tuner said that I would most likely need a new fuel pump soon, mine wasn't functioning as it should. Or, 2 I relocated my battery to my trunk, would a loose connection somewhere cause the car to stall out? I dont know.

Any ideas, or anything i should check let me know.

i would start by checking your wiring for a short somewhere.

+1.........^. My VIII had similar problems, it turned out to be a bad ground(when I spliced my O2 sensor wires weren't tied down, so whenever I turned left or right items underneath my passenser seat moved , thus stalling my car )It eventually shorted and took a fuse out.

I had this problem on my 2g GSX. It ended up being a loose wire on my CAS.

Have you unplugged anything recently?

Sounds good guys. I didnt think wiring could cause that while the car was already started. Good to know though.

I agree with what everyone else is saying. Either something is grounding itself out or you have a bad connection somewhere. Start the car and move some wires around to see if you can replicate the problem. Not really an easy thing to trace since its intermittent and most likely electrical. I would start with ignition wiring, CAS, battery stuff, and things that keep your car running. Since you relocated the battery to the trunk, I would ohm out the wiring to and from the battery and terminals in the engine bay. GL.
