Stiff steering during idle after replacing power steering pump
What's up gang. So, I replaced my power steering pump today for a 2005 Civic, but during idle the power steering feels so hard, as if there is no power steering. The PS only works when revving the car. Does anyone know what might be causing this? Thanks!

Where did you get the pump from?

I'm assuming you checked fluid level/quality?

Did you bleed the air from the ps fluid correctly after replacing the fluid?
