While making a left hand turn the car - engine will stall the more severe the turn the more severe the stall to even the engine stops running. All other driving conditions are good and while making a right hand turn all condtions are normal

Hello and thanks for donating

If your engine has carburetor than I would suggest checking the floats. Both the rise and drop heights. Seems like it may be out of adjustment. Also check for loose wiring, especially battery cables, that may ground out when you turn left.

You may have the engine idling too slow and with the strain on the power steering pump when you are turning it can cause the motor to drop in revs and even stall. It is strange it only does it turning left. But the steering box may be worn and giving different pressures to either side when turning. NOEL.
