Default Car Idles higher when steering wheel is turned
My car for some odd reason starts idling at almost 1100 rpm when i turn my steering wheel. I was told that is was because of the rack and pinion steering, but i am not quite sure, any feedback would be appreciated.

Its because your car idles itself up to compensate for having to power the power steering pump.
