engine reving

[David]

changed the power steering pressure line on my daughters 96 honda accord v6 and now when I put it in reverse the engine revs up. It only does it in reverse. any ideas what the problem is?

Is there a pressure switch on the power steering system ? Did it get messed with while you were working ?

Yes. It has some type of sensor switch in the line. I had to unplug it and then put it in the new line.

I’m guessing that it is an automatic. If so, the routing of the line is affecting the throttle cable account one of the motor mounts is bad??

Watch the engine when it is put in reverse and see what happens (how much does it lift/move)? The side that lifts will most likely be bad..

Might check that sensor , the connector and the wiring ?

Did you get all the air out of the system ? Turn the steering wheel lock to lock ( with the engine running ) until it stops making strange noises ?

Visually inspect everything else .

Re-check the fluid level .

Fixed it. I had routed the line over the cruise control line and put it n a bind when in reverse causing the engine to rev up. Thanks for your help.
