possible solutionI have a 1997 Mazda Protege with a similar problem. The last owner thought the Power Steering pump was out because he had no steering. however the belt to the alternator was broken. I replaced this and the power steering pump began to work. However, it is intermittent and will stop working at the most inopertune times. I can only assume that there is a sensor on the pump that is going bad. Good place to start. .
