If it was a fuel shortage the engine would rev but to limited speed. This is a lack of air to throttle body. Check for clogged air filter and all the piping and the throttle body.
the battery is weak although it may have power to turn the engine over it is not enough to make it start, it will need changing. the other fault is common with loosing revs while turning full lock. this is often a loose power steering belt or power steering rack or pump starting to fail. to be honest though they seem to last forever like this and there are a number of wheel related faults such as bottom suspension arms, ball joints and bushes that can also make the car do this as the steering is extended beyond where it's maximum capacity is.
a clogged fuel system? check the fuel filter, fuel pump...try to start at full throttle opened. Your carb might need cleaning. Check also the ignition system.
your torque convrtoer is shot. it is the at the front of the tranny to transfer motion from fly wheel ( engine side) to the trans. its a fairly cheap and easy fix.
Check the fuel delivery, first. It could be fuel pump or an obstruction. The best way is to start the car in park, then run over to the engine compartment and rev up the throttle. Keep idle higher than normal. If it wants to die, rev throttle higher to compensate. If it makes no difference, verify fuel pressure when engine dies. Usually ignition related wont even allow the car to start. Any service engine indication?
