Can low power steering fluid cause rough idle? One, the pump is putting heavy and inconsistent load on the engine, and two, there is a vacuum valve on the pump that is used to bring up the idle when the wheel is turned to compensate for load. With the fluid level low, the vacuum modulator is probably going all over the place, causing erratic idle.Sep. 21, 2010
