Thank you.
I have done this.Still not really helping me after watching them.
My wheel is not hard to turn at all, just when I’m driving and need to go around a curve to the right, is when I get this jerk response. After refilling the power steering fluid when I noticed it was low, seemed to help some just not fully. After visual inspection, the power steering pump is NOT leaking. So I’m pretty sure its not the power steering pump. I’ve not had much experience with gearboxes but know that this is a possible issue to what I’m trying to explain to my problem. I even was thinking CV axel as well however, I’m not hearing the clicking noise you hear with that. So its just leaving me stuck as to where the problem lies.
:unsure:
1) approximately 25-30mph (this is going around curves) — and as soon as I turn the wheel to the right that’s when it happens
2) this issue just started in the past couple days

Thanks for the advice from the two responses I’ve received thus far. I am going to do those suggestions and see if it helps.
Just went out to the van this morning, it started up fine, didnt have to press on gas pedal to get it going, no issues. So thinking that perhaps after driving, shutting off, driving again, it starts to act up.
I’ll be back to check later on this and see if I have any other responses. I appreciate the thoughts above, gives me a lil more perspective. I do have an auto mechanics degree from college, but just haven’t passed enough state licenses yet, so I’m not like an expert… but given the right advice and ideas, I can probably get the problem fixed.
Thanks,
TomThanks!
Well I’m leaning towards the IAT sensor.
After the van had been sitting for a long period of time, I hooked up my scan tool, my engine coolant was 102 and the IAT valve was 97. According to my mechanics book these should be within 5 degrees of one another. I looked for damage on the IAT. Then it instructed me to get the voltage of the IAT. The voltage I got was 2.02. According to the chart in my mechanics book, temperature between 86-104 should be measureing volts at 2.97-3.46. With the volts being 2.02, lower… is this suggesting the possibility that IAT sensor is bad?
Then based on reading what the intake air temperature sensor does, it makes a lot of sense of what issues I’m having that it COULD be the possible culprit. It doesn’t look like the cost for the IAT sensors are too much, so I might just try that and PRAY it fixes my problem. If not, I can look at some of the other options mentioned.
Again, thanks to everyone!
