1987 Chevy Caprice LS brougham Sedan 5.0LV8, ENGINE HESITATION

I have a 1987 Chevy Caprice. The Major problem with the car is the hesitation. I start the car, run it to the end of the street about a 1/4 mile. At the intersection, the when I make the turn the car either slows to a crawl to make the turn, or the engine shuts of completely. After running it for a few miles the problem stops, but the acceleration is still at a snails pace. The check engine light is on. I found a disconnected hose, I'm assuming to the carburetor/air filter, when I connected it the car over heats, so I have it disconnected. My gut tells me something is wrong with the carburetor or intake, but I know nothing about engines. Also I tried to replace the power steering hose I hack sawed off the hose to try and get a socket around the bolt, it still ain't budging. So i have no power steering, which i can live with for now, but I want to find out whats up with the engine.
