I would look at the fuel tank intake (inside the tank) and the transfer pump (if fitted).

A low fuel level with a bad pump, or a low fuel level with a damaged fuel line inside the tank could cause the issue you describe. Either way the fuel delivery rate needs to be checked with the tank low so as to get a good measurement of pressure and volume of fuel delivered.

Does violent jerking on sharp turns mean my 02 jetta's power steering pump is bad?

If a 2002 Jetta is jerking violently on sharp turns, stop driving the car immediately. This could be a problem with a tie rod, the A frame, or ball joints. Driving the car with this condition could lead to the tire falling off.

This could be a problem with the oil pump. Just because you have oil visible on the dipstick does not mean the oil is properly getting to the engine. Have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible to avoid engine damage.

How do you know that a guy really likes you?

It always depends on the boy of course, but sometimes if you are looking at him and he looks at you then turns away quickly. Sometimes if he is mean to you in a flirty way or just plain mean to you it could be a sign. If he is flirty with only you. Sometimes if his friends are always pushing him to talk to you it could mean something. Again it always depends on the boy, and the age of him.
