86 4kq dies while moving



I once had a Porsche 911 that had similar problems except it only became
very jerky and misfired continually rather than dying totally.  It took the
mechanic several hours to figure out that when the conductor in the
distributor cap became extra warm (hard driving on hot days), it would
separate slightly and result in intermittent provision of spark to the
ignition system.  You may have some similar electric connection problem
that occurs only when the conductor is warm and gets jiggled by a bump
while turning to one direction or something.  I'd suggest they start at
some point of overall ignition beginning like the coil and check all
connection lines.
