engine dies during sharp turn

while making a U-Turn if i turn really hard the engine shuts off or almost shuts off. I was in the hills on some tight roads and i turned real hard on this switch back and the engine cut off while i was on the road. it starts up fine afterwards. could it be that theres not enough RPMs when i turn and the engine is dying? its an automatic if that helps.

when i say almost shuts off it dies for a moment and if i gas it it will come back on. safety feature? im not drifting just turning hard

I would check the filter (sock) that is attached to the fuel pump inside the tank. Had the exact same problems years ago when I first picked up my turboII and that is all it was.

Fuel sock or rusted out baffels. This is in the FAQ.

might be the baffles because i when i got the car 4 months ago i pulled the fuel pump out and the sock looked fine. however its only on really sharp turns when this happens. not on normal day to day driving
