big problem
ok so i have a big problem with my power steering
when i turn on the car everything is fine but after a few minutes of driving around it wheel gets stiffer and hard to turn but as soon as i turn the car off and back on the steering go back to normal what could it be oh yea i drive an 87 tii thanks |
does anyone know what the problem could be also when this happens there a beeping that starts and gets really anoying...
|
Check fluid and power steering ecu
|
loose belt? /shrug just a thought.
|
i checked the fluids
but how do i check the ecu |
Are you sure its not just your speed sensitive steering working? Like, after those few minutes, are you driving above 35-40mph, or is it under any condition?
Edit: I didn't see about the beeping deal. My initial posting is probably not right then |
its under any condition but its wierd cus sometime it will soften up on its own and then go back to were i can barly turn it in the city driving
|
Maybe a bad power steering pump ? Im just guessing...only other thing I can think of is you have a leak on the powersteering rack causing it not to work properly...but if that was the case the level of your powersteering fluid would be low.

The beeping indicates a fault in the ps system. Download the 87 FSM, link is in my sig line. Section 10B covers troubleshooting and repair of the ps system. Section 15, page 87-90 covers trouble shooting and diagnosis of the ps computer and what fault the beep code indicates.
While the previous guesses may have some merit, that's all they are is guesses. A logical step by step diagnostic approach is the best course of action, otherwise you can end up throwing new parts, time and money at the problem until it's 'accidentally' fixed. . . . . . . |
i dont see the 87 FSM in the link but will the 88 work or am i just that blind can you post the link
|
the weird thing is that if im driving and this starts happening ill turn of the car and back on and all the symptoms will go awayand come back in a couple of minutes
|
but they go away so im think its something electrical
