Cruiser wants to die at idle /low RPM with any load on engine (1 Viewer)

[RotorHead04]

I was out with the wife and child running errands when my Cruiser developed a new issue that increased in intensity relatively quick. Truck has been running fine, it just got a "tune up" with new plugs, coil packs, fuel filter, air filter, and cleaned the throttle body. I noticed while parking at low RPM the load from power steering pump turning the wheel was enough to make the engine stall. Came out of the store from running errand and it fought to start with a 8-10 second crank time. It went from a slight dip in RPM at idle to wanting to die within an hour. Just got the truck home and checked for vacuum leaks, or anything that might have come loose and all looks good. It does not stutter or idle down when going from P to any of the gears, only when turning the wheel. Im assuming its fuel related, but I have not thrown a gauge on it yet. While cruising down the road or RPM over 2k its fine. Im thinking maybe fuel pump has decided to start dying, or the power steering pump is seizing up (but it feels fine and the fluid looks decent). No check engine light.

Any thoughts or similar problems out there?

Just noticed my 06 the RPM will flux quite a bit when turning the wheel in park. My 02 dips a tiny bit but the 06 will swing a lot. Thought I would respond. I just did radiator and TB service, as well as thermostat etc. Don't recall noticing this before, I did note a crack in the tip of one of the vac hoses going to the PS pump was tearing and taped it. I'm still searching the threads.
