Mine does that too, think its something with the power steering

Jackal,

Don't do it then!

Jackle
The ecu will jack up the idle to compensate for the power stearing if the idle speed control motor is set correctly?

 

[Guest]

Jackal,
sorry for the wrong name, but i have had some pop!

Every car I have driven with power steering does this.

 

[Guest]

yeah its because the needs some power to drive the steering and that is taken from the engine, air con also does it when you switch it on and off.

 

[Guest]

Well thats wot the isc motors for to jack up the idle when working the p/s?
Its very basic,hope this does'nt get to complicated.

Have seen that problem on a friend's Galant VR-4. The revs drop noticeably when turning the wheel left and right. Not sure what my garage did to fix it, but it was definitely power steering related. Fairly straightforward remedy I think.

At least its not another new malady that seems to afflict only Evo's! (warping, driveshaft bearings, etc!)

good luck!

Also happens if you overfill the power steering reservoir
