Default hard steering

just replaced my steering rack--94 vette--old one seemed to work fine but had bent inner tie rod,67,000 miles,so i figured it was probably due anyhow.after install i turned wheels back an back a few times.well i took it for a few short runs and every thing worked fine 25 miles--now it seems like no power steering.can drive it but somethings not right--there is no leaks.my question,could there be some kind of air lock?did i somehow kill the ps pump,or is something wrong with new reman cardone rack?---thanks for any help---tom

There is a procedure for bleeing air out of the power steering system, it's actually pretty simple. Do you have the factory service manual?
