Hey what up, I got a weird problem with my car. it’s a 93 civic ex. Well yesterday I went to drive the trash out to the dumpsters; shut off the car, emptied the trash, and started the car back up. But suddenly it dies. So I try it again, and it dies one more time. So I sat there for like maybe 30 seconds and it starts up. I go home to check it out and all my plugs ,wires, battery, alternator, and fuel line, ect. And everything seem ok. So I decided to do a little maintaince on it today. I changed the tranny fluid, power steering fluid, toped off the oil, and rotated my tires. Okay now its test drive time…. Everything seemed to be ok so I did a few errands and headed home. I noticed a crack in the top power steering hose so I replaced that. SO NOW FINALLY… THE PROBLEM I HAVE: I started the car, turned the wheel to get the fluid circulated and I noticed the car will start to die when I turned the steering wheel all the way to the right, but not to the left. Only when I turned it hard right as far as it will go and hold it there my rpms drop and it felt like It was gonna die. I tried it a few times and it did it each time. I knew the rpms fluctuated with the car in park as I turned the wheel left and right but never have I noticed this. So what could be causing this? Any ideas??
