Alright, I know it's not S chassis related, but don't care :P
So I've driving home tonight in my 2003 Honda Accord, check engine light comes on, gr.
Noticed no noises or any fluctuation in RPM while driving down the road, until I pulled into a parking lot.
Power steering became non existent when pulling into a parking space. I turn the wheel back in forth, watch the RPM's drop as I do this. I stop turning, car goes back to a nice steady 900 RPM idle.
It's 9 at night and I haven't checked the code yet (I will tomorrow at work), but did some reading and I'm thinking a power steering sensor.
From what I read, when the computer notices that the sensor is either stuck open or closed, a CEL will be triggered, and the other symptoms that I noticed could occur.
Thoughts? Am I on the right track?
