I got a 98 Accord EX V6 as a gift, it has 239k runs great besides a slight transmission slip, but it blew the PS pump.

So yesterday I put in a new PS pump, the PS was working afterwards, but was groaning loudly when turning the wheels. Tried to bleed it but wasnt working, so I thought I didnt align everything properly.

I took the belt off, took the pulley off, and made sure everything was tight. I put it all back together and the groaning/whine was gone, but the PS is not working again, and it was shooting fluid out of the resovour. I turned the wheels lock to lock a couple times and even drove it for about 5 miles, PS never worked, the shooting of fluid/air bubbles did though, it swirls in the container at idle so I think the pump is moving the fluid.

 

perhaps the rack is bad

 

Yeah thats what I was thinking as well. Sucks too as I dont think its worth fixing it as I would want to do the timing belt/water pump as well since I have no idea when it was done last.
