i have the same problem once in a while, but it's when i turn left. if i'm in a parking lot or something and i turn the wheel ALL THE WAY very hard the engine will stutter and cut out for a second until i turn the wheel just a little bit back toward the right....

might have something to do with the power steering pump taking the power away or something.

I am pretty sure that is normal for it to cut out like that, I think there is a switch for the p/s pump preventing the car from stalling from hard turns.

What does the alt have to do with the PS pump...
