In the Lxi (at least in the 89) hose there is a threaded hole in the area where the rubber meets the metal on the rack end of the hose. You take the sensor from your old hose, put a new o-ring and some teflon tape on it and install it in the new hose. If your original hose didn't have the sensor you don't need to worry about it. It's a pressure switch that tells the ECU to bump the idle when you turn the wheel and the extra pressure on the P/S system would normally slow the idle slightly. The difference in idle speed is pretty small, almost not enough for Honda to have bothered with this "feature." The first hose I got at NAPA was universal. It came with a plug in the sensor hole you could go with or without the sensor.

you could also take one without the sensor and use the sensor and a relay to switch on the idle boost solonoid for the AC, this would bump your idle when it detected pressure.

That's a good one!

well i guess i forgot to update this..i got the hose back and lucked out cause the new hose doesn't mate up as easy as the original...i pretty much pressed it in when i tightened the screws...i didn't know if the pump was any good or not...so iwas all like well fuck..smooth move....but i lucked out and it works perfectly...i bled the steering but for some reason it didn't come on immediately, but instead when i left the house mad cause ithought it didn't work i made a right turn and almost smacked into a building it was so easy to turn suddenly.... its been 4 or 5 days and no leaks so thats good i guess..next job is valve cover gasket....its literally in pieces and hanging down fro mthe valve cover....been leaking oil and smelling like ass ever since i got the car....any tips on that?
