Happened two times already if i press gas when turning 90 degrees _| my engine stops and i have to start car again, why could this be happening?

P.S. I got misfire cylinder 4 and 6 perhaps its related however i am trying to understand dynamics of things why engine only stops under this conditions?
 






sounds to me like your power steering pump is starting to go. with a 90 degree turn, that could put enough load on the engine to stall it out (especially if you have a misfire on 2 different cylinders). id check with your local shop and see if they could maybe do a power steering flush (sometimes it helps). however it COULD potentially be your PS pump.

over the computer diagnostics are never 100% because we cant exactly feel, hear, or experience the issue.
