Engine bogging on sharp LEFT corners

I have noticed that in my car, when I take sharp left corners, left only, the engine bogs down like its suffering from fuel starvation. It does this on a full tank of gas, empty, and anywhere in between. I know that I have a bad short range TPS and I am just wating for the funds to buy the unit right now. The car itself is a 2nd Gen. N/T I just got on Ebay about a month ago from a guy out in North Carolina. Before I bought it, it was sitting outside for about 4 years. If anyone has any idea about what this might be, any help would be appreciated.

Try pulling out the pump and make sure nothing is clogged or broken back there.

Aside from that I am not too sure. Maybe something is shifting in the engine compartment and causing it to lose the electrical ground or something. Check the coils, wires, etc.

Put a new fuel filter on that thing while you're at it.

It's the "inlet sock" the filter attached to the pump assembly itself. It's $13 at the dealer, It will clear that right up....
