Default Crazy idle while turning the steering wheel while parked???

Does anyone know what would cause this...I have a 2001 honda accord 4cylinder ex and when I turn the steering wheel while parked either to the left or the right, the car seems like its going to stall. I just changed the spark plugs and wires but doesnt help.

Im not sure if honda uses them as I never thought to look but try the power steering pressure sensor its either on the rack or high side hose. It'll look like an oil pressure switch.

Yes, honda does have a power steering pressure switch. I don't know about the 2000's but on the 94s the switch is a two pin green connector to the left of the oil filter. Fairly easy to get at from the bottom of the car.
