1996 lt4 63k miles stock.
I was near the middle of a 90 mile freeway drive to autox event & check engine soon comes on.
Car continued to run fine & strong.
After my 1st run (ambient temps about 75 sunny) I noticed that the steering was noticably harder to turn. I did 2 more runs, when the rpm's are up it seems better. At idle can barely turn the wheel. At a low speed low rpm turn the p/s seems to come on/off.
On the way home topped 100 a couple of times with "ck engine soon" light still on.
At home at idle the power steering is still BAD/weak can barely turn wheel without revving.
1) Any connection between the two?
2) How do I pull codes on a 1996 (obd2). Something about shorting across the plug and read the flashes?
I may just buy a code reader.
Thanks for any help.
