89 Vert no power when making left turns?
1989 Vert. When I make a left turn the engine loses power like it's not getting fuel. I'm confused because it will occur even with a full tank of fuel. Any ideas?

^+1, also check inside the fuel tank and make sure the baffles aren't rusted out.

^ lol

Have you had an alignment or messed with your tie rods lately?

It seems like I've read about a turn sensor that causes similar problems. I'd have to search to find it now.

Fuel Filter?
Bad Ground?
Karma?

I did mess with the tie rods. I need a front end alignment badly. Where is this turn sensor located?
