2002 Buick Regal 6 cyl Automatic

Three times now while I have been driving and taking a RIGHT hand turn, my car just shuts off. The lights on the dashboard stay on, but the car stops running. I lose all power steering and everything. But as soon as I stop and put it in park it will just start right back up and then won't happen again for a couple days. It's weird but I can't afford to have my car shut off on a busy street because it could be potentially dangerous. Please help. I am thinking that something is shorting or there is a faulty connection somewhere, but how to I track something like that.

Hi, and thank you for the donation, I suspect, that you have a problem with the idle air control valve, my need replacing or just a good cleaning along with the throttle body, I would try cleaning the throttlebody first/w the IAC and then look into replacing it if that doesnt. Work. Also if you have a check engine light on, have it scanned at your local parts place, or autozone, this service is usually free.
