    Probably unrelated ....... but .....
    .
    A few of the people on this board - Anita one of them - had issues with a part of the wiring harness.
    .
    One - or a few of them - noticed the problem when turning the wheel.

    Checked fluid levels. Everything looks good. I am leaning towards it just being cold weather at this point, but it worries me a bit that it just started this winter. ANother thing that worries me is, in the last few weeks, I noticed a DRASTIC decrease in MPG. On a full tank, I have averaged about 180-210 miles before empty. Granted, in the winter, the different fuel mixture does alter MPG, but that is a little eerie since it's about 100 less miles I am getting out of it. I think it's time to get some stuff looked into regardless.

    There's some kind of pressure switch for the power steering that you may want to have checked.

    I personally don't think it's your cold air intake. I was uneasy about leaving mine on all winter and thus far it has not caused any issues for me. I even drove in bitter cold with blowing snow and saw no ill effects.

    I definitately am not experiencing any problems related to heat-soak...lol.

    Me too...

    I have the same situation as you Worm... At this point I believe it to be the intake manifold. I am putting on the stock airbox, and will take into the dealer next week...****ty.

    Haven't had any problems like this with my air-intake and it being -15 here at night and (Brrrr) +10 during the day.
    Sounds like it might be an idle problem because at a full turn the RPMs will drop and stall you out.
