engine stalling when turning right

[volksdraw]

Hello,

I have a strange one for you to consider. My '91 S-10 stalls when turning right only. With the engine running and the truck at rest I can spin the wheel left and right with no problem. But when in motion a right turn stalls the engine completely!
A buddy of mine said it is a fuseable link near the starter but I thought I would seek another opinion.

Thanks for any info you can provide. Roy in OKC

thats just strange and uncanny i know this is a dirty word, but id take it to a professional and get that checked out it could just be something small that only a "professional" could spot

I have a '95 S-10 Blazer that does the same thing. Thinking it's the oil pressure switch, 'cause my oil presure drops on right turns. Maybe?

Oil pressure switch is a good place to start-sometimes they get crud in them and stick or short if there is a metallic piece in there.

Another place to check would be the pressure switches on the power steering lines. They're supposed to bump up the rpms a bit when the p/s puts a load on the engine.
If one is not doing it's job-that might cause your problem. Unplug each and put a continuity tester across it and see if you get zero ohms when you crank the wheel over. If not-bad switch.

and make sure your chassis ground has a good connection.
