Default Car goes off when lock steering to one side

My Lexus Rx300 has a very interesting problem. When I lock the steering wheel to one side for approximately 4 seconds while the car is either in Drive or Reverse, the engine stalls. However, if it is Parking or Neutral, it doesn't stall.
I have had the car diagnosed using a Launch tool, and the only error code is P0420 which is the o2 sensor.
I have changed the steering rack, Power Steering Fluid, bleeded the steering system, changed the steering cartridge and washed the throttle body. The car stalls after all the work I have done and the steering is very smooth.
Any leads as to what I should do next will be highly appreciated
