It happens at full tank. I know that there is something that increases rpm's when a load is put on the engine at idle. Like when the AC is switched on, or lights so the idle stays stable but mine is wacked and I dont know how to adjust it. If I turn very slow it does not rev up.

Do you hear any squeeking while turning? I wonder if your ps belt is slipping causing the idle to somehow free spin? Just a shot in the dark. Has it rained recently? Wetness can cause belts to slip. Or it may just be loose tension or old belt.

Belts are tight and there was nothing in the post by the dick head that offered any help....I have had the car for 4 years and I know its characteristics, it was not doing this a month ago. To offer up.....thats called powersteering.....like I dont know whats going on is RUDE. I spent years as a trained tech with Saab.
