HELP 911 P/S and brakes

[redneck21]

It happened to me 2 times today. One time as i was pulling in to a parking spot and then as i pulled in to my drive way. When i put on the brakes to pull in slow it felt as if i had no power steering at all. It would go away if i gave it a lil gas or let off the brake for a second. I try to get it do do it down the driveway but it didn't no mattered what i did. all fluids wear fine brake and P/S didn't hear and vacuum leaks and brake booster was fine too. What do i need to do now? Have work at 3 pm tomorrow and don't want want to drive 70 miles one way and have it mess up.

Unless there is a big vacuum leak in the brake booster causing the engine to run REALLY bad, I couldn't imagine your braking having any effect on power steering. The systems are completely isolated.

If the engine was on the verge of stalling I could see a potential problem providing enough hydraulic power to the steering box, but other than that

Just to be sure...nobody has modified your car and installed a hydraboost have they?

 

[Rick]

I thought of that too, but what are the odds

 

[redneck21]

I drove it about 20 miles to day to see if i could get it to do it again but it didn't. Might have just been a some kind of hiccup but i want to be sure. Could some air have somehow got in the line or something?

How would i know if i did have a hydraboost on it? would i have something like this instead attached to the master cylinder instead of a brake booster .

 

[Rick]

Yes.

ok don't have one then. Had a CEL. had it pulled and it was my DPFE found out one of the rubber hoses was unhooked and that some times if i was on the gas and the let off to hit the brake the engine stumbled a lil bit so i think that was it. Thanks for the help

 

[redneck21]

Just got back and it happen just about ever time i hit a red light. Seems like it was idleing low when the P/s goes out too.

 

[redneck21]

The only other thing is that when i drive let off the gas and coat hit the brakes to stop the P/S feel like it don't work and the engine feel like it it ideals lower then perks back up.
any help at all????

 

[redneck21]

Don't know if anyone will read this but thought i end this to maybe help some one latter.

The new P/S pump fix it no more wine and it's not cutting out anymore. Seem like it is running better now too.
