Anyone know how to get at the power steering fluid to check the level on a 1992 MR2??? Cheers... Also any troubleshooting advice for completely failed PAS?

Itll be in the engine bay surely gaz?
My mates just bought one of these, same base engine as the GT4, 3sge as opposed to my 3sgte.
They usually keep these fairly short runs of pipework due to the 70 plus bar on the pressure side.
Also, i dont see that theres a fuse for the PAS..??? unless its an electric pump?

The power steering resevoir is definitely at the front of the car somewhere, can't picture exactly where... (never checked mine)

Has your ABS given up the ghost too? I seem to remember the two being electrically linked in some way.

www.mr2.com is a good place to do a search. I'm betting your problem is either electrical or mechanical though

There is a relay that tends to stick which causes the PS to fail. The "solution" is to rapidly flick the ignition on and off about 10 times, which usualy gets it working again if this is the case.

Other than that, the brushes in the motor have wear indicators that will flag an ECU error.
