1991 escort dies when turning right......

My husband recently changed the motor in his 1991 escort, and since then, when he turns a corner to the right, the car stalls like it's starving for gas, when he turns the wheel straight, it runs fine again. Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem?

Thanks,
Terri

fuel pump, my car did it too when it was low on gas, but it wouldnt die, it just stalled a bit when I took a right turn fast. I would check the fuel pump.

power steering pump will make it die too if there isn't enough fluid or ur pump is starting to sieze... it will make the go slower and steal voltage from the alternator.
