I don't even have power steering, why is it killing the car?

Re: Car dies when turning left...

funny thing, mine does the exact same thing, except mine is when i crank it too hard turning either direction. I assumed it was something with the fuel pick-up in the tank, since the gas sloshes (sp?) around when you corner too hard, but I really have no idea. If anyone has any good ideas i would love to hear them as well.

Treat a half tank as an empty tank, and fill it when it gets there.
