I recently replaced timing chain and kit, two heads, waterpump, coil pack, oil senser, and oil pressure sending unit. I still now have the problem of the car stalling when idling. This only happens when I crank the wheel to an extreme left or right turn. Obviously this kicks in the power steering and dogs down the RPM's, but shouldn't to the point that it stalls...help!

You may have a bad IAC ( idle air control) but try cleaning the throttle body first. Remove the intake snorkel, have someone hold the throttle wide open for you and scrub the back side of the throttle plate and surrounding bore with an old tooth brush and some carb cleaner. Be sure to spray some into the small holes next to the throttle plate. That should help stabilize the idle. If it still has a problem, replace the IAC.
