Engine sputters when wheel is turned all the way

When my steering wheel is turned all the way, the engine sputters starts shaking visibly and sometimes stalls and dies.
What could be the reason? My mechanic said idle speed controller could have carbon buildup. Is that the likely cause?

Check the power steering pump. It is belt driven and could be locking up when the steering is fully locked.
