My power steering has never been perfect. In fact, ever since I got my 1jz swap I've been having issues with it. I've swapped the pump once to another pump due to poor steering assistance and noisey pulley. Now that I swapped it over, things haven't changed much, in fact my pump has failed completely. The power steering on the car doesnt work at all anymore, but the reason I bring this up is because a day ago the power steering randomly worked better than it ever has (probably close to OEM functionality) for a whole day, on my way to work and on the trip back. Then without me changing a thing it went back to utter crap and has failed entirely.

Any idea where I could look to try and get to the bottom of this? Checking certain lines, valves, etc?

I've been using ATF always for fluid.

*I am not leaking fluid
*I have tried bleeding the system, jacked the car up, opened the reservoir cap, turned wheels side to side many times. Just nothing.

Is there an electrical system that helps the power steering in any way..? Maybe it's not just mechanical failure I'm experiencing? It's a 95' sc300.
