Engine randomly dying
I have a 1993 F150 that has developed a weird problem. It likes to suddenly die when I am going apprx 15 MPH or less and only while turning right. It never dies while turning left. Fortunately it starts right away when I quickly put it in neutral. This is good since I have no power steering or brakes when it dies. Anyone experience this problem? Any suggestions?

my truck does the same. it's not right/left specific, but when I turn at slow speeds it'll stall. also coming to a stop, it'll stall. I have a whining p/s pump and a leaking p/s hose, and a couple dry rotted and cracked hoses under the hood so I suspect it's a vacuum problem.

I had an old 66 Pontiac Bonneville that would occassionaly stall while making right turns. The problem ended up being that one of the battery cables had worn thru and sometimes while making a right turn, the cable would touch something under the hood and short out the car. Most of the time it would restart right away. It finally killed the battery.
