Lol, I can see how the steering wheel would affect the engine, but I didn't realise the brakes and engine were connected. It hasn't yet been explained in the other topic, so I assume it's either not easy to explain or so easy that no-one can be bothered. :p
But it does make sense, 'cos if the engine stalls at speed, then you lose the steering and braking aids.
Yeah, sorry but i'm gonna have to "edit" your thread title cos "??" as a title is just ridiculous... no offense.Quote:

Dry-steer at standstill and you will hear your engine RPM drop a bit.
I think with electric seats it may very well.Quote:

any load you put on the engine at idle will cause the engine to compensate ,Alternator, Power Stearing, AC. ECU compensates via the EACV/IACV.
most hondas have a power steering pressure sensor on the high pressure line, when pressure is detected the ecu compensates. most lager Hondas have this pressure swich, civics dont.
its normal for your engine to rev a little higher i.e 1-200rpm
its your powersteering dude
hahaha slack ****.Quote:
