2003 Impreza RS stalls when making a turn or going over bumps. :(

[mookiex2]

We fixed it but, I am leaving this post up for two reasons. If it happened to us then it may happen to someone else. 

 

I have attached the photo because I have a question as well. The plug connected to the small housing had a missing bolt and it was moving around. I noticed when I moved it with my hand the engine would stall.

 

My question now that we put a bolt in and it fixed the car is, What is this housing and plug? I am very curious as I cannot find anything on it.

 

Thank you all.

Hi all,

 

My son has a 203 Impreza RS 4 door sedan. We are having a terrible time figuring out the problem to the point that we are just throwing parts at it. 

 

When he is driving the car, full tank or not it literally stalls on a left or right hand turn. When going over bumps in the road is loses power like it is going to stall, but he usually still has his foot on the pedal so you notice the hesitation until it catches again.

 

We have done the fuel pump that is in the tank, IACV, TPS, Fuel pump relay under the passenger side kick plate and the fuse. IT has its' tune up, but I think this is a fuel issue and I am not sure where to check next.

 

Any ideas?

 

It sits and idles fine and runs fine. It is the turns and the sharp turns and bumps. The typical bend int he road does not affect it.

 

Thanks all for your help. If we cannot figure it out it will go to the mechanic next week. I am tired of messing with it.
