Stall On Right Turns

I searched around and coudln't really find very much info specific to this problem...

I have a 1994 940 Turbo with 146,000 miles on it. Everything runs well, the idle has started to sound a little noisy lately, but it's in pretty good shape. I have started having a problem though. There is an exit ramp on my way to work that is a pretty tight clockwise loop (turns to the right) and I go about 35 mph on it. 4 out of 5 times I go up it now my engine dies suddenly (it doesn't sputter out, it just stops as if you turned the key) and I have to throw it in neutral and recrank while I'm still rolling. It always cranks right back up like no problem. The thing is it is specific to RIGHT CURVES...not turns. If I'm stopped at a light it doesn't stall when I turn right...it's only on fairly high speed curves. It has happened once also when I was stopping quickly and switching lanes to the right. It also only seems to happen once the engine is nice and warm. It must have something to do with the engine moving on the turn, but I have no clue what could be moving.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Josh
