Not getting too far in determining where and how much a lateral sensor is. I'm getting prices in the $500.00 range? That's an expensive guess. Love these sporadic issues!

Brief synopsis..
4 months ago average/fast right turn into driveway, car shuts off with ETS lit.
Park it, and it starts.
Few days ago, same thing, average right turn car shuts off, ETS lights up, coast into parking stall, start it right up.
Both of these times the ETS stayed lit for the rest of the trip home.
The last time, going down the freeway about 75, momentary loss of power/possible slow down, ETS BRIEFLY lit, then back to normal.
Nothing since then.
I will try to replicate some hard right turns to see if I can get it to do it again.

Thanks WHunter, I checked out the threads and will try the battery tests first and then move on to the possibility of the K40. I did replace the glowplug wiring harness(through Phil) a while ago. I also tried to take some hard right turns yesterday, but no reaction. I'll keep you posted.

Battery test: 11.6 before starting, 13.3 after start. Next up, turning test...

I have replaced the pulse module unit ,but it did not fix the problem. Next up is the voltage regulator since battery is new but i'm only getting 12.9 volts when engine is running. I think it should be around 13.4 - 14.4 volts correct?

YES.

13.5 - 14.XX is good.
