VS Power Steering Problem?
Yo,
When using power steering 'excessively' eg. turning the wheel while idling, rolling around roundabouts my VS Equipe drops out and turns off.
Initial thoughts are revs are too low but wanted a second opinion,
any ideas?

If you take the serpentine belt off does the pump spin reasonably freely? Pump could be dodge

Does this happen when not moving while in park or Drive?
If this only happens on roundabouts then it could be the fuel return line in the tank is broken...

I'd clean the throttle body and the Idle Air control valve (IAC) - it's both of these devices that maintain the idle speed of your engine when additional loads like turning aircon on or excessive steering actions pull the engine idle down.
There is a "how-to" on doing these jobs.
If it happens only when the fuel tanks is under 1/2 then I'd go with James39's advice.

Yeah, I've noticed when there's more fuel in the tank it happens less frequently.
It happens irregularly, like, turning corners after the corner it drops out a bit. If i put my foot into it it doesn't do it as much.
Tried to simulate it by sitting still and turning the wheel full lock both ways but couldn't get it to stall or anything..
Thanks..
