Power steering q's, lol.

[DueceMcCracken]

Here my second problem. Lack of power steering. After I rebuilt the ti it just didn't work when I restarted the car.

The pump is spinning, I flushed the Atf and put in fresh. Cleaned the resivoir as well.

How do I check to see if the pump is working?
How do I check my steering rack to ensure its not jut binding or bent etc.

What other things should I be checking. The bentley manual says jack **** about the ps and thats beat.

HELP!!

I'm driving fine without it but I'd rather have it working again in case I need a DD to drive my car, rofl.

Vacuum leak? Not sure about the ti but many cars run a booster from the vacuum lines. I know the braking system is like that.

haha, for some reasons my friends are afraid to drive my car.

Do you have a PS leak? I'd assume you'd have noticed by now. . .

I'm pretty sure there isn't any vacuum involved.

as far as a leak I havn't seen one yet.

I have fresh fluid in there just no ps.

I think I'm going to flush it again and then inspect whole system more.

Any more suggestions? I'm kinda in the dark.

If the pump is working there should be a AFT flow in the system.
