Default Stall Worry

Morning all,

Little issue with the car this morning. Whilst turning right, (not so sharp and not at speed), car died, no cough, no splutter.
Pulled over. Waited 10secs, fired up no problem. Oil pressure was fine, temp ws below N but it is only a 2 mile run so doesn't warm up anyway.
Checked oil over weekend and seemend okay. Nopatches on drive.
Italian tuned last sunday and LOT's of smoke for 30secs, then perfect again.


Ideas?

Ideas?
The extra load on the PS pump, PS fluid cold etc etc maybe stalled the engine via the drive pulley?

Makes sense, thanks. Normally I leave the engine to warm up, but was in a rush this morning.
