Lacoste82 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Hello! When i bought my supra, the power steering wasnt working, well it might work for like 10-20 sek just after starting the engine, but then the steering would get hard. I got hold of a another power steering pump, a new pressure valve(the one with the two tabs that connects the pressure hoses to the inlet manifold), new hoses and the correct oil and i changed it all, bleeding the system along the way. When the new pump, hoses, pressure valve and oil was changed, i started up the engine, and i noticed right away that the power steering was working, and it still works everytime i start up the car, but only for like a few minuts, then it becomes very hard to turn and the power steering wont return until next time i start up the car. I havent noticed if the engine needs to get cold before it works again, or if its just a matter of restarting the engine. Its really strange, ive done everything by the book, oil level is correct, and as said, the power steering works perfectly, but only for a limited amount of time(im aware that the power steering should get less responsive as the car accelerates, but the power steering disappears completely, so its not just a matter of me misinterpreting! I really hope someone inhere has a clue, as to what might be the problem! Ive searched the site and google for help, but in vain. Thx in advance!
