im not sure, but I know someone who has a 2000 gt that does the same thing...check ur wires and make sure when ur turning the wheel that one of ur wires is not coming disconnected

My car does the same thing...........I havent figured out what it is yet but I read that there's a pressure switch on the power steering pump(maybe not on yours) that automaticly idles up the engine when theres a high pressure spike......still havent looked into that though
