Re: start up problem + power steering

Check fuel pressure and see if in specs. How old is the fuel filter? Have you ever replaced the fuel pump resistor on your GTP?

The power steering pump issue sounds unrelated. Check the fluid level and it is not uncommon to hear some noise when the weather turns cold.

Also, clean the throttle body with carb or TB spray cleaner. Remove the idle air controller (IAC) clean the spring loaded pintle and the seat/orifice at the TB. Clean the MAF sensor element with electrical or MAF sensor cleaner.
