My rabbit stalls when I make right hand turns, no matter how fast or slow, and restarts smoothly when I straighten the wheels. Please give me some ideals!

That is very strange, when you turn to the right, either you have a wiring harness, or the battery is shifty, causing the vehicle to die, make sure everything is secure, and the battery cables are clean, and there are no wires chafing on any part of the engine or the suspension

I have an 84 GTI Rabbit and it does the same thing. It just did it when I was driving straight. I have replaved fuel pump and filter, and relay. Plugs and wires. Battery Tires and Cleaned injectors. Car runs great just dies when I do the right turn. I am going to replace my Rotor Cap, Coil, And The Voltage regulator to see if it works. My Friend Owns Crabtree Volkswagen Repair. In Austin Tx, He helps me with mine and gets me my parts super cheap! If You have any luck with this problem let me know. Does yours die if you turn right and are not moving, Mine doesn't it seems to be when I have too much Gforce or turn the wheel real sharp while moving.
