Automotive/1999 Chev Blazer cuts off

Question
I have a 1999 chevy blazer that cuts off repeatedly when making only right turns.  I have to put it up in park and then restart and it will normally start back up.  It's a nuisance though, I could be right in the middle of traffic.  Doesn't do this when going straight or making left turns?

Answer
Candy,
  I MUST preface this with my Profile... I'm a Parts Specialist, NOT a tech. Okay?? I am not qualified to answer this but will give you my best thoughts..
   This sounds to me like debris in the gas tank. You might look or have someone else look to see if the fuel pump in on the left side of the gas tank. IF it is, when you turn right, all the gas and IF there is any debris in the tank goes towards the fuel pump pick up tube. The junk or debris clogs the pick up tube and kills the engine.
  Candy, as I told you, I'm just a Parts Specialist and this is the only thing I can think of. I'm sorry not to have given you more options but I'm NOT a Tech.
  Good luck and thank you for your question..

Heretofore, I will NOT answer any mechanical question. I am not qualified and can only offer speculations. You are better served by others that are true Techs. With that being said, please only ask about parts and locating obsolete Auto Parts. Thank you. I have the ability to locate quite a few mechanical parts for American made vehicles fron the 1900`s to present. Some are OEM and some are aftermarket. This would include engine, brake and chassis parts. Body parts and trim are VERY difficult to find but you may inquire. If you need assistance in repair, I have illustrated books for major American manufacturers that show some illustrations BEFORE 1974. If needed, I can supply repair manuals for your specific vehicle. PLEASE REMEBER I'M A PARTS SPECIALIST, NOT A TECH!! Thank you.. Skip
