F150 93 engine cut out
Hey, today as I was pulling into my bank the engine cut out for no reason. I didn't realize it until i had to turn my steering wheel.
After I came out to go mail a letter, i kept the radio down to see if i could figure out anything...
Well, what I noticed is that when i turn a corner and before that i take my foot of the accelerator, the engine drops rpm's as it should, but drops below 1k a bit and comes back. But the first time it cut out, wasn't recoverable.
Could this be the cause of a fuel sending unit or computer problem?

sounds like it could be a failing Throttle Position Sensor aka TPS sensor, I suppose it might be a vacuum leak but I'm still thinking TPS since you mention it not wanting to keep a good Idle OH another thing to check is your Idle Air Control Valve aka IAC Valve
