96 XJ 4.0 AT loses power when you make hard left turns. The seller was
*very* upfront w/this detail long before I did a test-drive. What do you
all think?

Loses electrical power, as in dash lights etc., or loses power like the
engine wants to stop running but the lights etc. keep working?

Sorry, engine loses power. You gotta give it a little more pedal and almost
feather it to get any ooomph.

OK, obviously it is fuel injected, so that rules out float levels, lol. It
could be something that is causing the fuel supply to stop, or something
that is losing electrical contact due to a lose wire, bad ground, etc. I
would check for any lose connections. My gut feeling though is that it might
be a fuel issue. The fuel pickup in the tank may not be "right" and may be
sucking air when you make a left turn. You could probably test this by
jacking the left side of the vehicle up as high as possible (safely of
course) and see if it does the same thing.
