i have a 95 jeep grand cherokee v8. about 3 years ago the power steering went out from a cracked pressure hose, so i replaces it. sense the I’ve have little problems with my power steering. it would slowly leak out and i cant find from where. also sometime randomly the power steering would go out well i was drive for a few secants, even when it had fluid. last week my power steering went out completely. so i figured it was the pump, because it had fluid and when i turned it would make the loud moaning noises. so i changed the pump. now my power steering will work but only when i am driving. it wont work when i am stopped or costing, but as soon as i give it gas when turning, the power steering works again. where do i go from here, anyone?

when you installed the new power steering pump did you fill the fluid level? did you bleed air out of the system? check your fluid level, if the power steering fluid level is low then try this.
jack the front end of the vehicle off the ground, remove the cap of the power steering system and turn the wheel lock too lock with the engine on and try and see if any air is bled out of the system, if the power steering fluid level drops below spec during this time top off the fluid.
also check for leaks around fittings, lines, the power steering gear or rack ect.
