help car stalls in turns

my car is starting to do weird stuff. it doesnt do it everytime but
sometimes when i make a turn the car just stalls and everything locks up
kinda scary. i have about 69k miles on it anybody had similar problems ??

was thinking maybe battery cuz one day it wouldnt start and got some jumper cables and it started again. or maybe i have to do my 60k timing belt.

When you turn, it activates the power steering pump, therefore putting load on the engine. If you don't apply gas to compensate for it, it can stall due to lack of fuel and too much load for idle.

Do you have cams?


Mine has only done it twice to me, both in a U-Turn or a sharp turn with the A/C on.

Yes i have cams. I thought it would be load on engine problem.. 3 thing that i thought it might be were this texas hell heat, not enough engine load andmaybe battery life or alternator.
Am i on the right track f

It's the nature of the beast. The engine has more load, but doesn't have enough fuel it stalls. I am in the same boat as you.

I have cams, upgraded turbo. It only does it in the blazing hot heat when it's hot as ***** out or if I am running the A/C and turn a U turn at idle.

I know why, but I'm trying to find an answer and a rectification for this myself.
