Power steering set up.

Anyone have a diagram of all of the power steering lines and their purposes along with where they plug in to the rack? I didnt see anything like this in the FSM... any help is appreciated.

well, basically im trying to turn my 3 line pump into a two line pump, just high pressure low pressure, none of the variable speed crap since i dont have the stock ECU anyway.

I already cut off and welded shut the little metal thing for the variable speed that looks like little brake lines with a big metal thing on it. I thought i could run just high pressure low pressure line...... but i cant. it have the belt hooked up and the wheel will not turn, so something is way wrong. I have an extra pump in case i ruined the one, but i need this to work.

I read here a while ago that you can just disconnect the PS computer with the engine at idle, and the PS boost will remain on full all the time, with no change in boost, regardless of engine or vehicle speed. Try replacing the line you cut and see if it works. Pretty simple solution if it works.
