Hey I am new to this site and could not find anything on this topic. When i am at idle speed in my 97 LT1 and go to take a turn there is no power steering whatsoever. As soon as i hit the accelerator my power steering starts working again. Has anyone had this trouble before and if so what was the cause? Any feedback would be great. Thanks.

 

your belt tensioner is likely worn out...and get a new belt. gatorback

 

Does this only happen when the engine is cold?My old 93 bird would lock-up when it was cold and it turned out to be the rack was toast.

 

No it does it cold or hot...
