OMG... really? This has been discussed numerous times already!
Try this... click on 'SEARCH' at the top and type in 'Power Steering Failure'
Then look for thread titles that pertains to what you're looking for.
You can then try other keywords like 'Power Steering Loss' or just 'Power Steering'.
Then when you get good at that... try the 'Advance Search' to narrow it down to a particular section.

sound like your connection is dirty...right under the airbox are your PS connectors, pull em apart, clean em with some electronic cleaner (keyboard duster) and dab some dielectric grease on both the male/female parts and plug back in...the problem SHOULDN'T come back

No problem.
Respect the fact that you had "tough skin" to handle light criticism... shows me you'll do fine on this site.
