92 Accord Power Steering problem
My son's 92 Accord (2.2) burps up power steering fluid on start-up- we top it up, then bleed it until no air bubbles are present. It works fine until the next intial start-up. No leaks that we can see. It seems that the reservoir is being pressurized- anyone run into this?
Thanks.

Re: 92 Accord Power Steering problem
You only fill to the "Full Cold" mark when refilling?

Re: 92 Accord Power Steering problem
Actually, the level was in between the two lines- is it that sensitive to being overfilled?

Re: 92 Accord Power Steering problem
Shouldn't be...usually they only barf if the wheel is turned fast with the engine off...or if there is a problem with the spool valves in the rack...
Does it ever bind when cold?

Turned out to be the PS pump- put in a used pump for $60.

Re: 92 Accord Power Steering problem
Was there a power valve in the pump that was stuck or something?

Re: 92 Accord Power Steering problem
We pulled the valve out first- although it moved in and out of the bore ok, at the bottom of the bore (pump housing) it was gouged, like the valve had been slamming into it. The problem occured only at start-up, the colder the weather, the worse it was. I was thinking maybe a sticky vane, but then there would be no pressure? WE didn't take the old pump apart (yet). It was a $60 and one hour gamble, vs. rack replacment. It's about time we won one.
