1997 cutlass my EVO is not working. Is there any way to modify steering assist. Electronic Variable Orificeto? i would like to over ride it from system. There there any way to do this or do i have to find a new one?The power steering pump on my car came with an EVO on it. I'm not sure if that pump was the right one for my cutlass. I hope it's not the right one, but how could I check if it is? Does anyone have a part numberfor the EVO sensor on the p/s?

How do you know its cooked? Maybe its repairable easily? I imagine its not a cheap part.

I know it's not working because it has a crack on it. I forget to cover it up when I washed my engine and the next day my steering want hard. I had the pump and the EVO solnoid tested AND the EVO DOES'NT WORK ANYMORE!!!!!!

Thats no good man. Sorry, cant help you with a part number, but the auto store or dealership can get you that info quick-like.

So you are talking about the Variable Effort Steering (VES) actuator?

That's the one!! See the sensor at the end of the pump. I'm looking for the electrical connector on the pump not the pump. The actuator is located or supposed to be located at the bottom of the power steering pump. Could it also be called an Variable Effort Steering (VES) Solenoid or is that somthing else. I looked at GM Parts and AC Delco parts and there is no PART NUMBER!!!! Not sure but is GM part #26071766 the right p/n? I looked at the GM part and it dose'nt give any PICS.
