Hey everyone, I have a 93 Toyota Camry that I took to a mechanic because it wouldn't stay running. The mechanic replaced the AIC valve, battery, and plugs. He also bypassed the power steering I believe. The next day I was driving the car home and it started to overheat. There was smoke coming from the power steering reservoir, which turned out to be bone dry. I got the car home and filled the powers steering, also made sure there was plenty of water in the radiator. Started the car, and it idled fine. Then once I put it in gear(reverse or drive), it stalled out. Can anyone give me a lead as to what to do next? Besides calling the mechanic.

wow, your power steering pump is probably fried
check your oil level?

 

The car has oil. We did find that the transmission fluid was nearly bone dry.
