HELP! My power steering has gone out and I am stranded in Mexico (Ajijic). My biceps are getting large, but I dread the thought of trying to drive 2600 miles back to Washington (USA).

I found a master mechanic from Canada. He thinks its a part on the pressure valve. I've searched the web pages and have found two names for it--pressure valve and control valve.
I need some advice before I order something expensive on line.
1. Are they (pressure and control valve) the same thing.
2. Where can I get a part number to be sure I'm getting the right thing?

Adios

Doeesn't someone out there have a catalog and look up the part number?
It's a Lexus LS400 1990. I think I need a pressure valve for the power steering.

muchas gracias

This URL may help http://techinfo.lexus.com/. It needs a paid login, but I believe I read somewher you can buy a 24hr pass for about US$10.00. Never tried it personally so hope my info is correct. Good luck and safe travels
