so, for the last month or so every time i start my car up after it's been sitting for a few hours my steering wheel will stutter when i try to turn it to the left or the right, but after turning the wheel both directions a few (4-5) times it goes away and won't come back till the next cold start. i've scoured the forum for an answer and found none so im hoping someone can shed some light on this prob. for me

forgot to add; my car is an 6spd '04 with 60,000 miles.

 

the steering wheel has 2 electric motors. (one for backup, because a car going 60mph without steering is... dangerous.)

its possible your connectors have gotten a little dirty. i forgot the location, but i do know they are within range of the coolant overflow, sometimes it sprays on them and corrodes the connection. you may have to just pull them out and clean them.

 

thanks for the tip, i'll try to locate them as soon as i get home.

 

i believe you have to pull the airbox to get to them.

if you dont have the service manual. just look at my sig.

 

thank you sir

 

wow man thats a grate tip, I have the same problem every single morning when Staring up the car or when is been a bit siting. I'll look for those connectors and clean then up .thanks again
