[Supras] Power Steering Pressure Gauge

[khalida1 at aol.com]

Hi Bob,
     Sorry for getting back to you so late, I've been unable to check my email for some time.  I decided to trouble shoot this problem by starting with inexpensive stuff first, which is the PS pump.  I got a remanufactured one from NAPA for $139 (with core exchange) and I also got a new high pressure hose.  The steering rack that I have is the one with PPS.  If the power steering is still lacking after replacing the PS pump+ High Pressure hose, then I will have to send the steering rack to be rebuilt (unfortunately, no one stocks remanufactured ones anymore!).  The rebuild would cost about $400.  A new Toyota one from Jeff would be $850.

I heard your story after the fact.   I have been out of town….
 
I would certainly look into a sued solenoid…  If the members of this list haven’t heard of this failure then it must no be common and used should be fine

 Hi Bob,
     I called Jeff at Champion Toyota and he quoted me about $270.  It won't break my back to buy a new pump, but I have a feeling its not a pump problem, especially since its not making grinding noise.

How expensive is the pump and can you get on from a big box that will allow
returns?
 
I mentioned this to another friend in the repair business and he doubts that
any of the shops in town (39,000 people) have one.
 
I never used one in 13 years....

Hi!
     I am trying to trouble shoot the lack of power steering on my 90T.  The
TSRM has a procedure to check the fluid pressure, which requires a pressure
gauge with a valve (test 1 with valve closed, test 2 with valve open letting
the fluid circulate through system).  So I was wondering if anyone had done
this test before and can suggest a source for me.
 
Thanks,
/Khalid
