Exclamation Not reving fast/power steering going?

so my car was having an issue starting. I found out i need a new battery. The car has 86k and now when turning the wheel sharp at low speeds it is really hard (like the power steering is gone) and when i blip the throttle it barely goes up.... is there something else wrong or is my car jsut getting old?

check your power steering fluid level and see what it's at. Also let the car idle and check your RPM's. It should be 750 when the car is warmed up.

If it is lower than that, like 600 or lower than you need to do an idle relearn (typical to do after replacing the battery). Turn on the car and turn off all the accessories like A/C, radio, and heated seats. Turn the car off and then turn it back on and let it idle for around 10-15 minutes. This will let the car relearn the idle and hopefully fix the issue.
