Default steering wheel stuck

okay so a few days ago my car started bogging,stalling and misfiring on idle and it would go away some times. but last night, while i was driving I was making a right turn and all of a sudden my car feels like it's dying, steering wheel was real hard to turn I almost went into the other lane, and the gas pedal was stiff(when i gassed on it it wouldn't accelerate) luckily i was able to pull over to the side. turned off the car, and turned it back on and everything was fine. any one know what the problem could be?

I used seafoam 2 weeks ago. didn't change out the spark plugs. but i did the change the oil after I seafoamed. do you guys think it could be the spark plugs? idk man, i've been having problems after problems with my car. maybe it's time to just sell it.

Could be the spark plugs. Any power steering fluid leaking onto your alternator?

do you think the 12v mod will help? It's possible that my psf is leaking on my alternator. if it does what would happen?

If the fluid is leaking onto the alternator, your alternator is slowing dying so sometimes it feels that you are losing power and your power steering. Try cleaning up the alternator with sensitive electrical spray and see if it helps. Hopefully it is not too late.
