hi there, i'm new here and dont know too much but i think you should explain what exactly is happening when it cuts off. My towncar, which is being sold soon, usd to cut out like this. Tons of people were saying many different possibilities for this but it turned out to be the idle motor that keeps the car at 800 or so rpm. when i would slow down or not keep a few revs with the gas it would cut out. you might wanna get that checked out too.

Now if it's happeneing when you take a turn at any speed then i have NO idea what to tell you[sm=signs003.gif]

Dose it mater if you turn right or left?
If it dose not look for wires that may be getting caught up in the eng compartment the steering Column.
Dose it have a power steering switch and if it dose disconnect it for a while and see if the problem goes away and if it dose you may have a short witch may involved this switch.

Check P/s pressure sensor switch located on the gear box, 2 wire pressure switch that controls idle when turning.
1991 cutlass has one and 1987 caddy has one same location. Hope this helps
