For some reason when I make left turns my 01 stalls for a seconds. It also seems to have a sluggish start/idle when I crank it up occasionally. It's only when I turn left btw. Anyone else have this problem before?

 

the only thing i could think of is the power steering pump is struggiling to turn the wheels therefore causing the engine to almost stall

 

I kinda figured it be that or possibly the gas swinging away from the pump....or maybe the filter but that'd be more of a constant stall right?

 

yes, make sure all of your steering componets are in check before just getting a new power steering pump
