Revs Up When Turning The Steerting Wheer...?

[Kobe 2007]

Hey guys not sure if its normal or not... but when i turn my steering wheel whilst in nutral or at a stop, my car revs up to like 1.5-2...

any ideas whats happening?

THanks.

yes, you should not be turning the wheels at a standstill unless you can't avoid it. and of course as it placed huge loads on the power steering pump, this places huge load on the engine as it's just idling so it needs to up the revs to stop it from stalling.
