throttle giving out on hard turning?

hey..
Lately ive been noticing that when i take a turn hard, my throttle goes down (like i put in the clutch) and the car starts drifting . Like its turning great, then about half way through the car gimps out on me...how come it causes a huge handicap in my steering? Im thinking cuz of the powersteering, but i have NO idea..

oh yeah..forgot to meantion..my throttle body in my car needs a SEVERE tune-up. ( warm idle at 1500) (random 750~ idle) and when i turn on the car it stays at 2000 forever (literally). My main concern though is the throttle going out. Its done it enough so that last time it did, i made SURE that my foot wasnt depressing on the pedal.

Anything? Anyone??
Thanks
Jeff

its either your fuel filter or fuel pump. My 87 GX did the same thing, but havent looked into it cause i bought a new rx7.
