You might want a auto tech to properly diagnosis this, as it could be a few things, but i would lean to a fuel supply problem. One thing that needs to be done is to hook up a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail port and the car driven to see if on right turns its actually loosing pressure, it f so, it could be a problem with a connection, but one thing that comes to mind, which is hard to diagnosis is the baffle inside the tank, which I have seen break inside the tank causing the pump to lose pressure on turns. The baffle is in the tank to prevent the fuel from sloshing around causing problems that you are complaining about. A good tech should be able to figure this out pretty easy. If it ends up being a broken baffle, the tank would need to be replace to cure the problem. Good luck

It also may be the fusable link under the hood which may be going out. Should be located under the hood, on the top side of the firewall, in some type of conduit. Take a look at that also.

could be a fuel pump, harness problem, or short in steering wheel
