Doghead THANK YOU I was tired of googling it to get one readily available.
I also found it on Amazon for 20 bucks.
Hopefully will get her running tomorrow

That sound of a air leak is part of the fan system. When it hisses the fan is off and when it stops the fan is engaged. It's all part of the power steering system and the gold colored Cadillac valve by the washer resovoir that flips the fan on/off.

You can lessen the hiss of the Cadillac valve that's in front of the washer reservoir by loosening the hose clamp that holds it to the body and putting a piece of rubber in between, then re-tightening. Common complaint.

Yeah it's normal when you load the pump by steering to hear a change in tone. It will also sound different when you hit full steering lock. (Which you aren't supposed to hold for long or it puts wear on the pump)

Having same starting problem. Getting fuel from filter but not to the injectors. Should I assume injector pump is bad? There are 2 wires at top of IP and both getting 24v with switch on
