Engine dies while making a turn
Ok here is the deal, I have a 1990's F25O extended Cab Larrait. 5.8, 531hp, V8 eng. and sometimes while i'm iddle at a light the car starts jumping and as if I was playing with the brakes.
#2. I also have the problem that the car dies on me once in a while when driving and/or making a turn on either direction. I have read that the problem might be that I can have a leak on either of the dual oil gasket caps. I have actually noticed that I endeed have a small leakage but not sure if I need to replace it or not.

Sounds like a vacuum leak? I wonder if there's a place where a vacuum leak from the PS or brake booster might affect both systems? Check all hoses, and the booster...not that I know how to do that, but this is what comes to mind.

sounds like a vacuum problem, could be a leak or: with 530hp you've got a cam that's not generating enough vacuum, get a vacuum canister and hook up to your engine, that will give you reserve vacuum. racing cams are not meant for daily drivers that have all sorts of vacuum accessories and power brakes, even if it is a leak i'd get a reserve canister anyway, it can only help.
