MY SON DISCONNECTED BOTH LINES OF THE PS PUMP TO GET ACCESS TO THE ALTERNATOR. WHEN HE PUT EVERYTHING BACK THE PS DON'T WORK NOW.
WE FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTION ON HOW TO BLEED THE PUMP BUT STEEL NOT WORKING.

ANY OTHER IDEAS OF WHAT COULD BE WRONG?


THANK YOU IN ADVANCE
LUIS

 

My guess is you either over or under tensioned the belt.


the pulley is turning, and the level of the ps fluid is where it should be? and you're positive it's installed the correct direction, the pulley is turning the right way, and the correct lines are in the correct places? (I don't know how they work on 3G preludes..) But either way, I've had similar problems. I overtensioned the belt and the pump ate it. Try backing the tension off or tensioning it more if it feels loose. The belt should Not be stiff. If it is, chances are the pump is a goner, so you'll have to buy a new one. By the way, the capslock isn't far away.

 

You sure he didnt drop alot of the fluid. Make sure you fluid level is correct. then try turning the wheel back a forth multiple times. As long as belt tension is okay and fluid is up it should be fine. If both of these seem to be on par you probably do need a new pump.
