Rep Power: 189

Sup ya'll!

Im rebuilding my P/S pump. Got it all back together and my steering sucks. Like there is no pump. No power. Want to avoid pullin it all apart again, but will do what I gotta. And I coulda sworn it was pretty much all keyed in place back together...not much guesswork...but right now im SOL

Any ideas would be GREAT!!

Im on un-enjoyment AGAIN, so I got time aplenty, LOL

What the switch does is signal the PCM when your power steering system exceeds its hydraulic pressure capacity. It basically shuts off other components of the car or raises the idle speed when you turn the wheel all the way in one direction (just for 1 example.)

Sounds like its time to dis-assemble it and put it back together, after you check out everything external first

Dammit, i was hopin it wasnt that

But your probably right

And thanks for the 411 on the PSP switch! Rep for that!!
