Answer
Hi
  Bob;
       Wow  I never herd of that one.When you said it comes on when you make turns I wondered but when you said it shut the engine off I think it is electric or in the computor , as it should not be shuttin down the engine or
it could be some type of a engine safty so when there is no oil it will kill the engine,You could go to the local library and try the teck books.I wish I could of been better in helping you.Did you try to un plug the wire on the sending unit  and see if it still does it. if it stops doing it than it is elect.
good luck
roger
