    88' Chevy 1500 Stalls on sharp turns and idles rough.
    I have an 88' Chevy 1500 truck. Lately it has idled low and kind of rough/noisy. It stalls whenever you turn the truck sharp either direction. Any ideas? It almost sounds to me like it is getting surges of power rather than a continuous equal amounts of power. Could these things be connected? Thanks.

    . Replace fuel filter.

    . Replace spark plugs (ACDelco only), rotor, and distributor cap.

    . Check resistance of spark plug wires--replace, if necessary.

    . Test/replace the Ignition Control Module and coil.

    . Idle speed drops when steering wheel is turned--check power steering pressure switch signal and IACV.
