stall and stall again.... Reply #15 – October 11, 2008, 07:17:36 AM Quotewhen its beeen running for a little while it will idle fine at red lights but when i hold the brake and turn the wheel, she stalls.There IS a sensor for that.....Thunder Chicken had mentioned what it was called once before. I can't even remember otherwise I'd find the link to the thread and post it for reference.**EDIT**I did find this:Quote from: merccougar50If the engine stumbles only when turning the wheel, but recovers when the steering wheel is still, the idle kicker switch on the steering rack is not increasing the idle (via opening the IAC) to compensate for the power drawn by the power steering pump.This failure occurs more likly the you would think. If the idle is not increased the power draw the pump creates can actually stall a five liter engine at low idle speeds.I remember reading something about some replacement racks not having this switch as well...

stall and stall again.... Reply #17 – October 11, 2008, 08:51:03 AM Alright ill replace the kicker switch soon and see what happens....as for pulling codes... idont think it will work because when im at a light my speedo (copies) my tach until i start moving... Ex-if i idle at a grand in park my speedo will be in same position...around 30mph...so im gussing that would interfere with my codes... its not a short, just the way my dash is resting in the car...

Reply #19 – October 11, 2008, 03:31:00 PM Ive never seen a presure switch on any of our birds or cougars.Ive often been curious about the step in pulling codes where you cut the wheel for this switch as well.Take your belt off and run the car for a short period of time and see if the symptom changes.also, after the engine is hot, take your belt off and see if your smog pump pully spins free. If it does not, thats your power draw. Quote Selected
