Just wondering if my powersteering could be effecting my ICV?

Ive had a few problems with over reving, stupidly high idle and car deciding where it wanted to idle. i cleaned all my ICV out and the problem isnt so much now, but.. if im stationary i can hear like the power steering whining and the car is jumping between 900-1100 revs in time with the whines if i turn the steering the idle will drop back down to around 900 while the steering is being turned but return to jumping up and down between 900-1100 other wise.

Its not a major issue to running or the car (althouh steering is a little light headed from time to time) but it just sounds like a bag of shit outside the car.

anyone know whats up with it? sick of driving something that sounds bollox unless im flooring it to hide the noise :wacko:

The idle will drop as its putting more load on the electrical system.....its like when you put your headlights on.....the revs drop slightly.
