Bad power steering pump?
I notice lately that when i come to a stop my idle is stuck at 1200rpm, when give the wheel a good tug to the left the idle drops to 850rpm which is normal on my car. I know that the connector from the pump has something to do with engine load but not real sure when i'm at a stop light idling?
Is there something wrong with my pump or electrical side of it? |
I think you have a vacuum leak somewhere which is raising your idle. It is normal for RPM to drop when at a stop after turning the wheel because the pump is loading. If you were at a normal 850 rpm and moved the wheel it would briefly drop RPM.
Now that I am reading again...are you saying that after a tug the idle drops and stay at 850 solid or does it jump back up to 1200? |
It does not raise back to 1200rpm. When I stop and don't move the wheel it will stay at 1200rpm, if i move it it drops to 850rpm. It doesn't seem normal for it not to drop on it's own after stopping. What would be the problem?

sticky isc, improper minimum air setting some of the more common.
