The gismo that steps up the idle speed when you turn on the air conditioning
is not working.

When you turn the wheel as far as it can go, you are forcing the power
steering pump to try to force the steering arm past the stops. This makes
it harder for the engine to turn the power steering pump. If you keep doing
this, you will damage something. Always back off a little bit with the
steering wheel when it hits the stop. The engine should not stall, though.
It sounds like you need a tune-up.
