left turn power loss

I get a power loss or hesitation on left hand turn.... It doesn't happen all the time but occasionally the power will cut out when I am making a low speed left turn like at a stop light....


I thought there was a TSB about this but can't find it...



Help please

Got to be electrical. Pull the cover off the steering column and check the wiring around the ignition switch.

I agree electrical is the most likely cause but it could also be something like the fuel being starved owing to something shifting and blocking a flexible part of the fuel line (assuming there is one somewhere) or, perhaps more likely, the baffles in the fuel tank have broken loose so when you turn that corner, you're not getting fuel.

Also check your power steering and belts, if there was belt slippage, perhaps it's slipping under load (not sure why just left turn though) - I would look at electricals number one, also under hood. If you have a code reader, you could do a wiggle test.
