    Probably not, unless your power steering pump is JACKED up. But you would know if it was 'cause it would tell you, with all the screeching, grinding, and belt squeeling noises.

    Lucky for you, most of the things that cause the problems you describe are simple to fix, like plugs + wires, carb needing rebuilt, and other normal service procedures. Unluckily, theres alot of things it could be.

    does it die right after you use the starting fluid? just a hunch, could be the fuel pump, agree with the above statements too, possible plugs and wires, are you looking to do the work?
