Engine dies when I turn right.

I drive a 1991 3.1 Chevy Lumina.  Three months ago I replaced the Power Steering Pressure Sensor Switch because the car began to stall out when I would make turns, and eventually completley died.  Today my car is dies every time I make a right hand turn, regardless if I have let the car "warm up" or not.  Any ideas what it may be??

SOURCE: 1991 chevy lumina will hardly run

DTC - 22 Throttle position sensor error (signal low), is tps connected?
DTC - 23 Intake air temp sensor error (low temp indicated) check and make sure the sensor is connected
DTC - 43 Knock sensor error, ignore this for now, will not cause rich run.
DTC - 53 System voltage too high, check reference voltage from PCM, it should be around 4.5 Volts, this could be the cause of all your problems, the computer will need to replaced almost for sure.

SOURCE: Engine will die

There is a Communication problem between the Transmission Control Module (TCM) and the Engine control module. That is the bad news and is why it's shutting down the engine. 
The good news is i believe there is a TSB recall on the 2004 - 2007 chevy aveo for the P0700 problem so it should be covered under warranty. 
Believe the TSB# 05-06-01-030D
Good luck and hope this helps and hope it's not a bad ECM. Check the wire harness to the ECM and TCM, look for broken wire or the harness it self gone apart.

Lumina troubleshooting

first check the condition and level of p/s fluid. if low top off first and turn your steering wheel left to right and back several times to try to bleed air out of p/s system. if p/s is still stiff or hard your p/s pump pressure output can be measured with a pressure gauge. if pressure is below specs its time to replace it. if your p/s output pressure is good then you would need to inspect your p/s hose or lines for kinks or restrictions to your steering rack. on certain model vehicles p/s sensitivity can be adjusted on the steering rack. you would need to check the vehicles service manual to see if its possible to adjust steering rack sensitivity.

1991 chevy lumina wont start after sitting when you drive it

Just because you replaced the fuel pressure regulator does not mean it is working correctly; which is the most common cause of your problem. Hook up a fuel pressure guage and watch what happens when you are starting it cold - it should go up to about 47 PSI and once started it should read between 40-47 PSI, then when you turn the engine off: Does the pressure drop? There is a check valve built into the fuel pump also; that can be faulty and if the pressure is generally reading low and the check valve is bad- this can also create your problem. We have run into this before also; When the fuel pump is cold the internal pump seals are sealing great, but after a period of running time the pump seals lose sealing power and if you try to start it again it will be hard to start. The biggest thing with this situation is getting the fuel pressure readings at the following points of time:: Start-up, running cold, running at normal operating temp, engine off, engine re-start.

1997 chevy lumina stalls when turning

My first thought would be the power steering pump is out of fluid, or that your pump is faulty and seizing. A rack and pinion going bad can also cause this.

1991 chevy lumina 3.1 liter.problem started it was fine then went 3 blocks and it died stopping at sign.had problems getting it back started and it drive fine for a minute and lost power to like 20 mph but...

It is one of 2 things fuel pump or Crank Shaft Position Sensor. Best bet would be the Crank Shaft Sensor, and what that does is tell the computer where the crank is and when to fire the right plug at the right time
