failzorz on the leprocy wagon!

ok really strange gremlins have taken over and decided that when the car is stationary that the power steering is NON EXISTANT!! however! when driving they have given it back to me!??

when car is stationary, the steering is heavy and the lights come on on the dash when moving the wheel

+ there IS the required amount of power steering fluid in the reservoir.

this maybe related to this : http://www.clubsub.org.nz/forum/index.php/topic,23691.0.html

Your car wants to be manual steer that's what it's telling you

but only in stationary position? you can see how this would be an issue sometimes?

im really concerned that it could be a warning of sorts that something is about to fail / has failed ?

Power steering belt slipping? bung power steering pump?

the power steering belt is the same belt that is on the alternator as well.

does not explain why the steering is perfect while driving. this is only when stationary.

just an idea but could it be low voltage to the pump due to less volts being returned to battery from alternator while stationary? i would imagine that when driving the alternator would work more efficiently and supply a higher voltage? or am i barking up the wrong tree?

ok so im pretty sure its the pump.

reason being. i popped the bonnet and turned on the car. turned the wheel and the pulley for the power steering stopped spinning!!

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
