Unusual hesitation

Hi, I have a 2002 with 158K miles. Recently it began to hesitate when accelerating AND turning left. It feels as though it's running out of fuel. It only happens when accelerating and turning left. Turning right, going straight with no problem. Otherwise runs great. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

I have absolutely no idea, but I can try guessing:

Object in the fuel tank that obstructs the fuel pickup pipe when turning left
Worn engine mount that exposes tears in the air intake system or pinches a fuel line
Wiring issue with the camshaft position sensor: ECM will kill the fuel pump if the sensor signal is not received
