I have air in power steering lines and I've tried jacking up front turning left and right, but when I lower car again I have no power steering.

Welcome to 2CarPros.

When you bleed the system as you mentioned, are there air bubbles in the power steering fluid? Are you sure the pump hasn't failed? If you raise the RPM's does it make a difference?

Let me know. Also, I attached a pic from my manual that discusses possible causes. Let me know if any of it helps.

Take care,
Joe
