Psych0matt Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 quite possibly. Plug it in and find out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Its likely the steering rack pressure switch they like to rust off and hang loose. The purpose of this switch is to bump the idle up to help keep the car from stalling under the load of the rack being turned to full lock.

z34dumas Posted December 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 well if it is.... i have the time to fix it now. the drivers side of the rack blew out while i was goin down the highway yesterday. i know what the book says but how hard is it to really change the rack? also i have the fe3 option code so i wanna go with the firmer rack right?

intern8tion9l Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 my ps pressure switch was hanging off for years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z34dumas Posted December 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 turns out it was the plug for the o2 sensor. no wonder my service engine light has been on for five years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
