get a multimeter, check your TPS and see if it is bad. (TPS- throttle position sensor) check simple things first, plugs, wires, air/fuel filter, things like that then work on to more complicated stuff.

my buddy had an old chevy conversion van that stalled when you turned left... sometimes. it was in the wiring around the ignition switch (key) being loose, and when you turn the wheel hard to the left it would loose its connection and stall... just a place to check... i would suggest trying to get it to stall out on demand, and building a jumper lead from the ignition plug to the switch so you can test your voltages, and then try and make it stall and see what it does your readingalso... if it only stalls when you turn the wheel till it stops, or make really hard turns, check your power steering unit and make sure that the pressure realese is working, otherwise the pump will keep building pressure when you hold the wheel against the stop, and it will build enough to stall the engine... just two ideas... hope all works well-pete
