Start with the basics, clean the MAF, IAC, plugs wires, etc... to keep it running nice...

Then/or check the fluid in the power steering. Mine was horrible (buds was the same so it must be common). Flush the system out and the steering effort goes way down so this should relieve load off the engine...

I simply disconnect one of the lines on teh front of the rack and run clean fluid through until it comes out clean there then close it up and top it off. One of these days I will put the car on jack stands and actually saw the wheel to in order to get more of the fluid out...

Takes regular Mercon ATF (like almost everything on our cars...)...
