Default Lack of power - only when turning sharp right!

Hi


I have a strange problem with my Mazda MX3 V6 from 1994


When I driving the car and make a sharp right turn, the car loses power.
The RPM drops to 0 - then I press/pump the speeder and short after the car runs again without any problems.


It does not sputter or make any other problems after it has lost its power...


No problem when I make a left turn.. only sharp right turns... why?


The following engine items has been changed recently so they are new and the problems where not present after the change, so I do not think they are the issue:


Spark plugs
Gasoline filter
Air filter
Ignition module


Any ideas?

When you make a sharp right turn the engine is moving slightly to the left. This tugs on electrical wires and the hoses etc. Check all the wiring, including ground straps. Disconnect and re connect all the wire harnesses and inspect them for chafing etc.
