1989 RX-7 convertible

When the engine warms up if making a left turn the rpm’s drop and the engine stalls. Only when turning left and not all lefts. Does anyone have any suggestions of what may be causing this problem?

Did the car sit for some time before you got it and if so for how long? Does the problem go away if the tank has more or less gas in it?
You could be seeing a fuel pickup issue as the fuel moves away from the pump as you turn left.

My brother who passed owned the car forever and mentioned the problem occurring in the past. The car did sit for about 6 months. I will fill the tank up and see if the problem persists. Thanks for a starting point.

Any luck solving this issue? I'm experiencing something similar.
