Yes it is 6 cyl....
Power steering switch?? what is that and where is it?? Apology for the lack of knowledge.
Power steering pump? Seems to be working ok, no leaks or whining etc.
macman, It is a SII Forte....so no traction control or
ABS....I am just a lowly pawper.
But yes it feels like the engine totally dies, i dont lose power steering just the engine hits a huge dead spot and then comes back to life like nothing has happened......sort of like my wife during sex rofl...sorry couldnt resist.
