No. A typical in-tank electric fuel pump on a fuel injected car can put out 40-50 PSI of pressure. Most (all?) cars have a fuel pressure regulator that keeps a certain pressure in the fuel line. When the fuel line pressure gets over a certain point, say 30 PSI, the regulator will open and will release pressure by returning some gasoline back to the tank. So, by turning up the pump, all that would happen is more fuel would flow through the system in a given period of time, but it wouldn't make any difference to perfomance.

Low speed sharp turn steering problem When you turn the wheel all the way right or left at a given point the steering becomes very jerky and feels like it is going to lock up a front wheel any ideas?
Let me guess. You have power steering, right? When you turn the wheel all the way to the lock, the power steering pump is still trying to turn it further, which is why the steering feels jerky. You can blow up the pump, or a hose, by holding the wheel against the lock. You won't turn any wider if you let the wheel come back one quarter turn, but you will take the pressure off of the pump.

Can being low on power steering fluid make the motor in your car lock up?
Absolutely not. But, if your power steering pump was to lock up it may make the motor seem to be locked up because most vehicles run a serpentine belt. The belt operates all of the accessories on the front of the engine. (i.e Alternator, Air Conditioning Compressor, Power Steering Pump) If the Steering Pump is locked up it may keep the engine and accessories from turning. I have seen this a couple of times on Mid-Late 90's, Fox Body, 4 cylinder Mustangs. A quick check would be to remove the belt and see if the engine will turn. Also, see if the Power Steering Pump will turn with the belt off... V-
