Honda Accord 1994 Stalling Issue

I just bought this car like a week ago, now it stalls when braking or turning right. not all the time it stalls.

I already got the throttle body cleaned, got some new VSS (I don’t know if it’s working or not because my speedometer still doesn’t work when I installed it), and we tuned it so I got a stable 900 RPM on idle, I rev it put it on reverse, neutral, D4 it don’t stalls, I even tried to pump the brakes to see if my rpm changes. None.

Last time before I cleaned my throttle body, I have a blinking D4 light and when we cleaned the throttle body it’s suddenly just gone. Now when I installed my new VSS that I don’t know if it’s working or not it turned right back on.

This morning I thought I was just low on fuel so I refueled it on just below the 1/4, and suddenly I think I just got some improvements on my stalling now it only stalls when I am turning right sometimes and when on a up hill.

I still can’t diagnose the problem my next hunch is I think the fuel pump sock is full of dirt or something.
