Yes, there is a sensor that kicks up the idle. It is mounted on the
power steering pump outlet. The fact that the engine is then hard to
start indicates another problem. You should avoid turning the wheel to
full lock or for that matter, avoid turning the wheel if the van is not
rolling. The high pressure caused by this operation contributes to rack
failures, (leaks).

I am having kind of a wierd thing where at full
steering lock either direction the motor periodically
stalls and I have a hard time getting it running
again.

Is there a sensor that maybe kicks up the idle when
the pump is loaded that is bad?

Thanks!
Brian
