Hi I have a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS..My question is my car idles very low and it cuts off when i back up or turn the steering wheel it seems fine when i run the air and the fans are going but as soon as i turn off the fans it starts to run roughly and wants to hesitate and cut off. What could this problem be? And when I turn my wheel to the left theres a loud grinding and sqeeling sound? What could these problems be? Thank You

Get the idle air control motor and the throttle position sensor checked out-The squealing/grinding could be the power steering pump/belt-
