Stalling during Left turns
I have a 98 4.0 ohc eddie bauer exploder.
After driving on the highway, and then sitting at a light for a minute, If I try and make a left turn to cross the oncoming traffic the truck STALLS halfway across the road after its to late to avoid oncoming traffic. This only happens after driving steadily for a few miles beforehand. The supposed ford dealer replaced the pump 2 years ago, and the problem never went away. Lately it's been doing it much more often. I almost was hit head on by an 18 wheeler last week, and really hate ford right now.
I checked fuel pressure, before and after changing the fuel filter. It's about 28 psi at idle, same in gear, and goes up to about 38 when hitting the gas. If I remove the vaccuum hose from the regulator, it stays at 34 psi at idle.
I have replaced the egr, pcv, iac, all filters, plugs, wires, inlet air temp sensor, o2 sensors, FUEL PUMP, checked all wiring numerous times, checked for intake leaks while cold and hot, i'm not one to throw parts at something,--- believe it or not--- basically i did a tune up while in the process of tryin to fix this pos exploder.
Does anyone have a good experience in fixing this similar problem?

A bit off of what you are talking about, but my first car was a ford probe, and it had the same probs that you are describing. I changed pumps and everything and we could never pin-point the prob. I had it stall when i took right turns. Had more close calls than i care to remember and got pretty good at slamming it into N and restarting on the fly. I myself blamed it on something electrical and thought that maybe a bad ground was to blame, or poss. a wire grounding itself out when it was turning. Hope you figure it out before it causes and accident for you!

havent had any trouble codes yet. I think the only trouble code i'm gonna have is 911. Maybe ford will understand that one. there is a tsb somewhere describing exactly the problem i'm having and they blame the fuel pump design. There fix is to install the new style fuel pump. I don't know which pump is installed. I don't have the tsb either so i can't check the part numbers.
