Power steering problem SolvedSolved

Toyota Corolla 1991 1.6 engine 4cycl 157000 miles
When I start my car in the mornings I get this high pitch sound from the engine. I shift into drive, press the gas, or turn my steering wheel, it gets louder. After the car warms up, the sound goes away. Power steering fluid is good. Just guessing it might be my pump.

Tighten or replace your serpentine belt. That squeal is your belt slipping

Car has hesitation start and power steering delay

Toyota Corolla 2014 Power steering 57289 miles
One day rainy day I went to start my car and it acted as of the starter was broken. It wasn't even clicking. Then the whole car locked up. So I waited for a minute and then it started. From then a few days later it starts semi fine because I can hear a slight hesitation is the engine starting and when I go to drive the power steering does not work. I have to let the car sit after the engine starts for a couple seconds before I can drive for the power steering to kick in. What is going on. Never had any issues or accidents with this car before.
