biged30 Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Car steering became hard to turn. At first it had a squeaking sound as the wheel turned. Checked the power steering fluid and it was a little low so I filled it up. After the fact I checked the code and it came up P0505 - Idle Control System Malfunction. The car is also leaking some fluid. Anyone know what's up? I have a bad feeling this wont be a do it yourself kind of job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd try and tackle that first before doing anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biged30 Posted November 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 what should I use to clean it? Didnt really find any posts on the issue. Carb cleaner? And how is the IAC related to the sterring being hard to turn? It isnt really idling harsh in my opinion.or do I simple need to clean it like the MAF connection? I have some di-electric cleaner.
