When the van is running and you try to steering when sitting still it is extremely stiff steering to the left, when you go to the right it's a little easier but still stiff. It makes a air hiss noise when steering to the left. I've checked the pre-load on the steerig box, the belt is fine, power steering fluid is up, no crimps in lines, also the idler arms were changed by someone else and I checked the tightness and it's OK. Need some help which way to proceed.

Hi:
Is the engine's idle around 900 RPM's? Also, the belt is tight?

If so, it sounds like the pump may be going bad.
