    Do you get a moaning sound from the pump when you try to steer? Check your fluid level and see if any foam is in the reservoir.

      Yeaah it like moans but only sometimes when i make like wide turns? like Left turns.. other than that it feels like it hesitates to turn, used to turn smooth , now it feels like it gets stuck? and no foam in reservoir, fluids good.

        that was happening to me as well. i'd take a turn and wasn't even full lock. it sounded like it was tires squealing, but it wasn't. checked my fluid level, sure enough i was low. bleed the system and refill, go from there

            Did you even look for an answer otherwise? Not even 24 hours before you made this thread, blk93 made a thread about no power steering right after a transmission change. It's almost EXACTLY what's going on here.

            By any chance, is your speedometer/odometer acting up?

            Either your VSS is damaged or incorrectly hooked up... or your pump is failing. If the pump moans, then it is on the way out for sure, but that may not be the issue at the moment.

              My bad Deev, took a look at his thread but I do not think it's thr VSS because my odometer/speedometer has been working perfect since i did the clutch job..? The only thing i have noticed is that sometimes when the car is sitting for a while (off) and i try to start it up, the engine jerks like when you pull a sparkplug wire off and the cars on, sounds like a v8..? Could that be anything related or is this just bringing me more problems to fix?

                The way the engine is running shouldn't have any bearing on the function of the power steering, so it sounds like you have multiple problems.

                If the VSS is good, and the power steering still doesn't seem to be working, then the pump itself may be failing.

                As for the way it's running, check the condition of the spark plugs. That will tell you a lot. Make sure they're all in properly, and that the wires are all in the correct order. Then if it keeps doing it (and doesn't stop) check your valve timing and compression.

                  I shall replace the VSS then and see what's up, thanks.
                  I do have oil in my plugs.. i already bought wires +plugs + gaskets. just need time to do the gaskets and stuff, is that why it does that?

                    If the oil is getting into the combustion chambers, then it's a good possibility.
