Need advice on engine issue

[opus69]

I would ask what could affect steering, engine power and cooling system? The only thing I could think of that might affect all 3 without throwing a code could be a water pump going bad and perhaps binding a bit. This could affect power steering cooling and engine performance. Perhaps a stretch but easily checked by removing serpentine belt and check for resistance in the pulleys. I would think it would be a stretch for all three problems to be caused by the same thing.

The water pump was replaced this past winter after it failed, but getting to the belt and checking it would not be too difficult.

I lose power and the steering starts vibrating first, after this happens I notice the engine temps start to creep up. I thought it was not getting enough fuel so I replaced the fuel pump but the issue is still there.
