Default EJ8/D15b swap - power steering, battery light, and high idle problems

A couple nights ago while I was driving, the power steering would stop working everytime I'd turn. And the battery light turned on. My car was also in hi revs while in neutral. Like 2,000 rpms.

The battery light turning on means charging system failure - remove your alternator and have it tested. That might also be connected to your high idle.

Avoid vague thread titles like "Need help with my EJ8!!". This is against forum rules. Title edited.

What CEL codes are thrown?
