Did u bleed the air out of the lines?? Sounds like a lot of air is trapped in there.

how do I bleed a power steering system?

I believe there was someone that posted how to do it a while back in the forums. Also you could try your local dealer and ask them how to do it. I think, there is a bleeder screw somewhere on the steering box but I am not sure. Good Luck
