Powerloss during turns?

Sometimes after I've completed a turn
my truck will lose power for a sec and
then on it goes. What in the hoot
is this bidnezz?

Someone else recently tracked down this very problem to a faulty coil, so check that out. How he verified it was by hanging it upside down and then driving. The problem stopped. Good place to start

A carb accelerator pump problem can also cause problems like you describe.

It seems to be on right turns only?

Check for broken wires to your ignition module.

You also carry less speed in a right turn and tend to hit the throttle harder coming out.

Highway cloverleafs or city?

My truck sometimes stalls, or try's to stalls during turns..... but i think this is because it isn't sucking what little gas there is to the engine. this might be the problem -myers

Power loss due to fuel system delivery problems will usually not manifest themselves quickly, -it is more of a delayed reaction thing.

I had a similar problem. Truned out i had a spark plug wired chaffed and spaking on the header when I would make a turn. When I straightened back up the wire would shift back and power would be restored.
