1990 dodge ram LE 250 keeps cutting out Sign In

Sometimes when I make a left hand turn the engine powers off. Sometimes it will then start right away, sometimes I have to let is sit and then it will start. I have recently changed the ECM, the ignition and the sensor in the distributor. Ran fine for a day and now it cuts off again when I made a left hand turn. Ive taken my truck to multiple mechanics and I am at a loss. Any ideas? Need help so I don't get stuck on the side of the road again

Since it happens during a specific turning motion, I would look hard at the wiring harness and connections.

With the engine running tug an manipulate the wiring around looking for a response from the engine. Also look for any spots where the wiring could be pinched or rubbing through onto metal.

The movement of the suspension has to be triggering something.
