It idles the engine up approx. 200 rpm when parking, if you can find a plug that fits it take it out and throw it away. I did mine that way because it was leaking fluid .

I've replaced 2 power steering pumps and always wondered if I got the vacuum lines on there right. Either I did, or it doesn't make any difference.
