Truck shuts off when we make right hand turn

When we drive the truck it will stall and shut off when we make a left turn. In slight right hand turns it will try and stall. Previous owner said fuel pump was changed. We changed ignition switch. This year does not have EGR valve. Any ideas?

Hi,

If you fill the fuel tank, does it still do it? If it still does it with a full tank, then it must be an electrical issue. Check things such as if there is a fuel pump fault code set, a loose fuel pump relay or fuse, the condition of the wiring at the fuel pump (at tank).

Have you done these things?

Let me know.

Hi,

Let me know
