Introduction Compact

I'm tired of going to the local car dealer with a problem, only to be told they don't know but will "take a look at it".

Then, when they can't find the problem, they "do something" and tell me I need a new head gasket. Of course no change to the original problem.

:-(

This time it's --- I have a '94 Olds Cierra with 60,000 mi. When slowing to turn a corner it starts to run rough -- has a fast, medium hard, shudder as I turn and often cuts off completely. So far ---- I've had no trouble starting again. Runs great except for that.

Anyone have any ideas ??
