full tank, i'm kinda thinking the fuel pump is on it's way out to lunch
Re: engine stalls on left turns
Could be fuel the pump is going bad, or could be a short in the power to the fuel pump. Since it don't happen on right hand turns I'd look at wiring diagram for the fuel pump and check all the lines out make sure the voltages are correct and the fuel pumps ground is good, but that seems like the #1 thing to check.

Do you hear any grinding on left turns? or any smoke out of the tailpipes?

FILL the gas tank.
Not, "put some gas in it"; FILL it.
If it goes away, then keep more gas in the tank.

Re: engine stalls on left turns
OP says tank is full.
Problem could be battery connection. If a connection is corroded, turning one way could cause enough G-force to make the battery lose contact with the cable.

Re: engine stalls on left turns
huh?? after the car is running isn't it like running off the alternator the whole time? I have taken the terminals off after the car was running and it didn't shut off.. is this some safety thing on new cars?
Re: engine stalls on left turns
ok.... after reading through a few silly answers I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you have a carb'ed engine. If so, the culprit is likely a sinking float.
Otherwise, remember that 2 wrongs don't make a right but that 3 rights make a left

Loose grounds on the back of drivers side head, where fuel pump relay grounds. Mine was only finger tight!
