The problem might be with the power steering pressure switch.

When you turn the wheel, the power steering pump imposes a load on the engine. This switch informs the computer that this load is being imposed on the engine. The computer then commands the Idle Air Control motor to move to a position to compensate for this extra load on the engine. And this prevents the engine from stalling while turning with your foot off the accelerator.
