Thread: Goos place to find LQ1 parts.

My father has a 96 DOHC 3.4 cutlass that is having power steering issues. It keeps purging it ps fluid randomly. We beleive the pressure control solenoid is shot. The clip is broken and does not keep a connection. Problem is, I cannot find ANYWHERE that has one, new or junk yard. Any tips or leads that could help me out? thanks!

Would the pcm be different on cars that do have it vs cars that don't? I will try it

i had to switch mine onto a new pump and lost that clip your talking about.i used a very small hose clamp to hold it down and it hasnt failed me yet.
