Default 87 k5 stall while making slow turns

hey guys, my 87 k5 350 tbi recently started stalling while turning at slow speeds {like turning into parking spot speed}. Could this be a fuel pressure issue? Truck runs great at full speed, also stall sometimes while in reverse. thanks

possibly a idle issue? if youre engine is running at low rpms that little bit of drop caused by the strain of the power steering pump may cause it to die

That would also give me. Surging while idling ,but smooth out once i give it gas right? When i come to a stop it stumbles and idles down really low like its gonna shut off but stays running. Ill try the vacuum leak thing. Thanks

speaking of vacuum leaks. check your egr valve also. friend of mine brought his truck over for a similar issue and his egr was opening wide open at low rpms causing it to die out. disconnect that SOB, plug the line and drive it see if that fixes it
