Car wants to die every time I make a left. It struggles to accelerate going straight, but will go eventually. Can do right hand turns all day, no problem. Had fuel pump replaced in dec. 2014. This problem started approx. 1 month ago and has gotten worse. Started as just a slight hesitation during acceleration before the left turn problem started. The engine light came on as it got worse, I'm not 100% sure I remember the codes right, p something 91, and p.71, both fuel related. ?

I need to know the correct trouble codes. The ones you listed are not for an OBD 2 system, which your car has.

The codes are on a printout inside my car, which is inside a shop, where they can't figure out whats wrong with my car. I think they might be, po191, po171

If those codes are correct, you first need to check fuel pump pressure. The 191 code is dealing with the fuel rail pressure. The other code deals with a lean fuel mixture. These could be tied together by low fuel pressure. Do that and let me know what you find.
