Default Engine Cuts Out When Turning Left

86 Jeep Cherokee

Engine almost cuts out when turning left. Only left turns, never right.

It has a mechanical fuel pump so I don't think that's the issue. I've already replaced:

Fuel Filter
Power Steering Pressure Switch
Flushed/New Power Steering Fluid

Any other ideas what it could be?

Gonna have to dive deep than that....

Is it only while driving or parked... both?

Loose wiring in the wheel well?

Are your tires touching anything?

With these renix, i would do more investigation before you replace the power steering pump... even though it could be that

Can we assume that you have tested this behavior with a full tank of gas? If not, that is your first step.
