power steering not working when idling

Chopper Reid says, "Harden the fuck up!" Try some of these. They might work.

Exactly how hard is it to turn while idling? Putting all your weight into it with your face turning red? Or just a bit stiffer than when the RPM's are up? I always thought it was normal for power steering to be a little stiffer while at a stand still. Maybe I'm wrong.

Top of the lid says specificly to use ATF fluid... What color is it? If it's not ATF the system is screwed...

No i used Power steering fluid that my buddy brought over from toyota .

TSRM says to use ATF.

edit: Poo beat me to the punch.

There is a reason ATF is recomended when not new, and it isn't hydraulic assist.
