I assume you have power steering, as I see this when I turn the wheel all the way to one side.

What you should do is check your fluid level in the power steering and possibly change it out.

I am not sure, I just know it happens, I assume that there is more resistance in the power steering causing the belt to spin slower and in turn bogging down the engine. Same thing happens in my 98 truck if I turn the wheel all the way.

I never knew why, but I had a 1974 Duster that stalled every time I made a left turn unless I accelerated at the same time.

Turning right wasn't a problem at all.
