Stalling out only when I make a right turn?
So I have a '95 Dakota 4x4 with the 3.9l. I've got a problem where every time I make a right hand turn, my truck just stalls out and dies. I was on my way to work today when I was making a right hand turn onto a main road and next thing I know my engine is spitting and sputtering, then my engine cuts off and I'm cruising with no power steering. I get on the side of the road and it starts right back up. I kept playing with it and every time I made a right hand turn, it would start to surge and sounded like it was starving for gas then just stall out. I can turn left with no problems whatsoever though. Anyone else have this problem and what should I look for? Thanks

I've heard issues like this when it's only one way, usually electrical. If it was happening both ways then maybe TPS or IAC or power steering pump in a bind. I would idle truck and start pulling on wire bundles to see if you can make it stumble. When the truck is flexing one way it might be moving a wire that's rubbed and it's shorting out. Could be a loose ground also. Do you notice any other symptoms like fuel light blips or check engine light?
