    Left the car to run for 2 mins, came back and turned the wheel left and RPM dropped and engine died. Started her back up and she drives fine. Thinking power steering pump is gone and causing too much tension. Any thoughts?
    EDIT: Pump is not whining like mad, steering is a little bit stiff at a stop and low speed.

    try the hi-speed fuel pump relay mod. basically bend tab 85 and reinstall and see if that helps. when I had my 98 gtp a while back it'd stal whenever I make a 90* turn onto a road, mainly right-hand turns.

    Luckily the car doesn't shut off when on the move, RPM drops but it hasn't shut off on me anymore. Scanned it and no pending codes. Ordered a new power steering pump as well as a IAC valve just in case, sucks how we just got like 5 inches of snow last night after like 2 months of snow-free weather.

    check for ps switch, many older gm has ps switch input that causes iac to increase rpms at idle. also might get can of ac delco top engine cleaner and can of gumout, and name brand toothbrush, clean depoits out of throttle body and clean iac also.
