Hello all!,
Well my power steering pump has died i think...comming home from work, i noticed and felt a loud knocking sensation.. so i pull over and check it out. .the same time i was getting terrible problem my hicas light kept flashing when the knock was going..Felt around my engine bay and found the the knock was comming some where from the power steering lines? guessing steering pump?..
anyways i found that when the car is idiling u can hear it knock quite loudly.. and under alittle revs the knock stops?
so i gently drive it home cause i was quite far home... on the way home i noticed my electronics kept resetting serious and such.. and would not go into boost? 2.5k rpm?... pulled over checked a few more things seemed fine...
By this time the steering has gone super heavy... my normal low beems look like my parkers and it was running rough as guts..
i got abit worried and went to the extremes to get it home... i noticed by now the knock has stopped.. maybe it damaged something else?. so in a last effort before all shiet broke lose i came up with a crazy idea to cut the pwr steering belt incase the pump shit it self and so i cut it... but this time it was really hard to start the car. it has enough power to crank it over but not firing...
so i come down to conculsion.. my pwer steering pump died.. and maybe my alternator?
anyone can help?
thanks!
