This is rather strange but when I turn (more to the left) the car cuts out. Its like something is pinched or something. The car doesnt die or anything but its like all fuel source is cut off. But once the car is straight again its fine. And if you press harder on gas pedal it kind of surges but only when turning. The sharper the turn the worse it is. Any ideas? Its annoying and am hoping its not going to turn into a problem. If it is rather take care of it now before its a problem.

Hi:
To me it sounds like there is an electrical problem. When you turn the car, something is moving and shorting; thus, cutting power to the ignition. I would start simple. Check your battery terminals, make sure the grounds are clean and tight, check around the distributor for damaged wiring. In fact, with the car at an idle, open the hood and move things around to see if anything has the same affect as when turning. If everything appears good, I'm going to recommend you have it looked at by an auto electric mechanic. The problem could be located in many places and it could be caused by too many things.

Let me know what happens.
