car trouble

Mostly just to document this, but I had my power steering cut out today. It got better after I turned the car off and back on. I couldn't see anything obviously wrong under the hood.

Sounds like something computery then, though a bubble in the fluid, low fluid, or vacuum failure used to be the reasons. I assume it was merely heavy and not scary.

The progressive rate calculator might have failed and thought you were going very fast.

This made me think you had it removed, sort of like an appendix. :)

Weird. My Mazda did that to me a few weeks ago. My friends with more car knowledge than me suggested it was probably a bubble in the line (since the fluid level and belt were just fine). Wonder if it's a Mazda thing?
