We have replaced Plugs & wires, all fuel filters and the fuel pump but it still dies during left hand turns (only).
Any help???

Muerte; If the engine is dying, hopefully the PCM has recorded what is going on. Is the check engine light on? Being a
'97, it should have 'freeze frame' ability that will show what was going on at the time it died. You may have a wire (harness) that is shorting during turns. These are very tough to find, but with some perserverance....
