hey im new but keen as to get into this forum stuff, anyway i just got a GTO VR4 and its sadly an auto. and every time i turn the car to full lock it stalls, i tryed lifting the revs with the idle screw but didnt really work also did simple things such as oil change, cleaned the air filter and checked the spark plugs and coils but all are fine. any 1 have any ideas of the prob any suggestion wud be a great hlp.. i know only simple things about cars but am a quick learner.
cheers

You need to raise your idle. Its the power steering pump using the power that the engine needs.

All you need to do is adjust your BISS screw to raise your idle slightly.

he said he already tried that. It is normal for a car to loose some power when turning, but it shouldnt stall. How is the rpms at idle. If they are fine then there is a power issue.

Haha, im old fashioned so, it might be the floating thingy inside the gas tank that keeps the fuel at level (it used to happen to my gti, in every turn, the gas moved to the oposite side of the tank causing a lack and thus stalling, but of course, that was not on a mitsu, and it was an 83 model)

OH!, he said that the dude already tried raising the idle with the screw, and also that if the idle rpms are totally ok when still, then it might be some electric issue... i think... i guess.... oh ill just stfu

lol i dont think its electrical. Maybe its a leak of some kind.. and the turning of the wheel opens up the hole.
