Stalling when turning

My 1994 f350 5.8 L stalls pretty regularly when Im turning at a slow speed 1-3 mph. The truck also hesitates and sometimes stalls when I apply gas from a stand still. Are they both TPS sensor related? Please help. Thanks Paul

mine does that sometimes, like if i'm backing out of a tight parking space and I need to turn the wheel hard, it will die out.. sometimes it will hesitate upon takeoff, but it doesn't stall..

You've got a power steering pressure switch issue, when you turn the pump, pressure builds up, takes power. @ idle, it can kill the engine. The pressure switch in the pressure line, from the pump to the steering secto, will send a signal to the idle air control motor, thru the computer, keeping the idle speed proper.
