Okay - let's say you are driving UP a two lane street, and you realize that you just passed the Taco Bell that you needed to go to! Now, you need to turn around, but the road is too narrow to do a U-turn without hitting the curb and getting a flat tire. So you look to make sure that there are no cars coming from the other direction, turn your left turn signal on, and pull your car up to the curb on the left into the on-coming traffic lane. Then, you look again to make sure that there is no one coming, and you put your car in reverse. Now you have to take a quick check of your rear view mirror, (because you will fail the road test if you ever go in reverse without looking in the mirror while you back up...) and you back up until you have enough room to pull your car around and go in the opposite direction - They call it a K turn, because you sort of made a "K" shape... well sort of. Now you pull into the taco bell and question whether you really want to eat that processed meat because your best friends sister told you that she use to work there and it's totally disgusting....

Before anything, check the wiring. Look for breaks, corrosion, or loose connections. Circuit codes for camshaft or crankshaft sensors WILL make the car die. The computer needs those signals to know when to open and close injectors, and when to spark each cylinder. A cold air kit wouldn't cause stalling issues unless you have a shorted MAF sensor. Repair problem if found and clear codes. Lean and rich codes could be related too. If not you may need to diagnose the fuel system separate. That could be a restricted fuel filter or a bad fuel pump. If you change the pump, always change the filter too. Some cars have a fuel pressure test fitting on a fuel line or rail for the injectors.

K turns are also known as 3 point turns. Its for when you need to turn around in the middle of the street. They make you know it for the tests. But really no one uses them-you just find a driveway to turn on, or parking lot, or drive around the block.

I'm going to answer this but it might be hard to explain.
Pull to the right hand curb in the middle of a block.
Crank your wheels to the left and pull across the street toward the other curb.
Before you get to the curb, begin to crank your wheels to the right. (most people forget to do this)
When you get to the curb, shift to reverse and back up, continuing to crank your wheels to the right.
When you get almost across the street, crank your wheels to the left again, until you have straighten up.
You should now be facing down the street in the way that you came.
Pull up ahead, and congratulations, you have performed a "K" turn.
