My power steering is failing me.

When i am at a stop with no throttle input basicly just sitting their idleing, my power steering will not work and you can hear it moaning loud enough that you can hear it clearly.

But as soon as i give the slightest throttle input the steering will will fly in any dirrection like if it was in mid air.

has anybody else had this issue. i will be bringing it to the dealer this saturday to fix that and change the relays. cant wait to hear their bull**** about my aftermarket equipment!

 

have you ever popped the hood and checked your p/s fluid levels? Maybe even looked for a leak?

 

i check my engine bay once a week and i notice that the power steering pump is always dirty with a oil resedu. but it just completly died on monday.

 

straight to dealer. it shouldnt be doing that

 

wish i could take it to the dealer but i have no otehr car and they wont' give me a loaner, so my dad is goign to bring me up his spare car so i set my appointment for next monday to drop off the car in the morning. I am also goign to have them replace the relays accourding to that tsb cause i have that issue about my car not turning on every winter.

 

you might need the flash tsb, i had the same problem. Still have to bring mine in for the reflash. Easy fix for now, when it happens just tap the gas pedal...should fire up no problem.

 

so you had the same issue? do you know the TSB number? or have a link for it or soemthing so i can bring it with me to the dealer.

 

TSB-08-13-004

That's what I had found a while back. Do a search, you should be able to find the pictures of it somewhere on this forum.

 

I have this issue onmu evoIX, but I have a performance flash, would the dealer need to overwrite my current ecu codes?

 

that tsb is for the no cold start issue? But either way thanks man, i hope the dealer doesnt give me **** cause i am goign to flip!.

 

well they flashed my ecu to the latest version, they said mine was way outdated. car actually feels/drives better. BUT power steering is still broken when at idle. So i made a appointment for next monday after the holidays and im going to drop it off and they are goign to investigate all the steering components.

 

Well dropped off the car at the dealer today, got a call from them later this after noon and they have orderd me a new replacement powersteering pump under warrenty!!! absoultly no hassle about my mods . but the pump won't be their till thursday or friday so my car will just be sitting their!! i hate it!!!

 

Mitsu warranty ftw

 

i go the car back!!! it works better then i could ever remember!!!! Greatest service ever!! im so freaking happy right now!!! MITSU WARRENTY FTMFW!!

 

so, pointless post, you had a nosy P/s system. You asked us whats wrong and finally you took it to mitsu under warranty and got it fixed. Waste of time in my opinion.
