Power Steering problems

Hello everyone this is my first post.
and i hope its not with a stupid question

I recently bought a 1988 NA rx-7 Convertible,
I got it and it had some slight engine problems , but after reading the form and
running it a few times over 6k rpms its become a very nice running car.

My problem is with my power steering, and it seems very random
sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't,and sometimes it seems to half work
I can't seem to find a cause for it
The pump isnt leaking any fluid and stays full.

If someone could please help me figure this out
it would make my day

^_^ Thanks in advance

Congrats on the '88 vert. I've had mine for 16 years.

Icemark knows his stuff, perhaps post a WTB for a used power steering computer on the classifieds here.

Yeah, mine seems to very sporatically seem like it's not working, but I have the feeling it might just be me....I don't know. I still have to look it over.
