Falls on its face turning Left and hard start.

Been a little bit since last post.Found ecm relay to be hot after driving. My problem was always when after driving at least 15 mi. Changed ecm relay and problem seems to gone away. Been good 4 about 6 weeks now. Might be on to another cheep-free fix! fingers still crossed.
 






I will have to check on the ECM relay on mine this weekend/Monday/Tuesday. We are going up on the mountain to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary which is today.
 






I brought this up before and thought I would try again with other info.My X will fall on it's face for a second when taking off and turning left. It also will do the same at hi-way speeds turning left fairly sharp. The only other thing is when I start the truck it starts fine first time but if I shut it off,and then try to start it again and turn the key right away it will not start without holding the throttle down. If I get back in and turn the key to on and wait a few seconds it fires right up but revs a little when it starts. Other that that it is a good car. I think it has something to do with the Fuel pump not holding fuel in it when I shut it off. And possibly that is what causes the left turn thing where it looses just enough fuel out of it that left turns it stalls for a second. Of course I am just guessing here. Anyone ever have either one of these problems?
I have the same symptoms with my 98 Explorer the left turn thing for years and now the hard start issues you describe. Also thinking fuel pump.
