dont know if this helps but the same thing happend to my 440 1.8i. cough and die when turning right or down hill then restart fine (live on a hill, work on a hill = bit of a bugger) it turned out to be the fuel pump, as the pumps bottom bearing failed so any jolt or side ways force would cause the impeller to jam, engine and electric feed stops, impeller frees and then engine would restart. If you feel brave you can remove the pump via an opening under the rear seat(but remove the battery, any jewellery, open all the doors and have an extinguisher handy when you do) and test it with a simple 12v feed from another battery, making sure to tilt or jolt the thing and to use a small amount of petrol in a bucket, also run it for aslong as possible as they can run for a short time with out trouble.
