Check the high pressure hose from power steering pump .... looking for
a small electical switch mounted/connected directly into the pressure
line. It will have two electrical leads .... one black the other
usually blue with a brown stripe. There is also usually a 5 amp fuse
somewhere nearby (orange leads).
This switch is an "Idle kicker" that increases engine rpm when the
PSteering pump is straining during a left handed turn (doesnt strain so
when turning fully right). Replace the switch and all will be fine
again. Problem is that these idle kick switches were mostly/sometimes
applied to carburated Jeeps from the 1980s and are hard to find in
aftermarket or even dealer sources.
If carburated also check the rubber vacuum hose to the idle kicker
diaphragm/dash pot on the carburator to be sure that the hose is still
intact and check (energize) the electrically operated vacuum switch
that usually sits up on the left inner fender .... vac hose runs across
to the carb from the vac. switch. .
When turning left it takes more Horsepower drain from the pump so you
need a 'kicker' on the carb to slightly increase the rpm ... or the
vehicle will stall. Doesnt happen when turning to the right.

Hope this helps.
