C55 had been running for maybe 2 minutes so stone cold, noticed the revs flaring when turning the wheel at idle. Then, stopped on a 14 degree slope turned the wheel at a standstill at close to idle revs and it stalled. My thinking is that the extra power demanded by the power steering pump stalled the engine - steering does periodically feel very heavy at parking speeds. Thoughts?
Edit: bit of Googling says it might be a dirty throttle body
