I have a 1994 Ford Escort with 15K original miles that bogs way down after making a right turn. Car recovers after feathering the gas and runs fine after that after it is going straight. Only seems to stall on a right hand turn. Like a hard right 90 degree angle turn. What do you think?

No seriously get the car on a lift and check for any fuel or electrical wires gettin caught in the steering!

I think I figured it out. The gas gauge is incorrect and when making a right turn, all the remaining gas is pulled away from the pickup. The fuel guage said it was half full but it then took 12 gallons to fill it up and it runs fine now.
