Question Problem with New Power Steering

I recently had a rebuilt steering rack and p/s pump installed (2nd pump). Now my 95 SC400 (90k) steers like a Oldsmobile 98. The wheel has very little resistance and it does not get harder to turn at highway speeds. The car steers too responsively and quickly, but not sporty. I got the parts from The Steering Store and both parts looked like they were rebuilt very well and carry a 36 month warranty. However, the shop that installed the parts put power steering fluid in the system prior to reading the cap (Dextron II). The rack's sensor is pluged in. Please advise. Also, can anyone tell me the name of a good Lexus tech near Orlando, Florida?

I think the shop that did your install should correct the problem, since they put in the wrong fluid. Is the racks sensor plugged up because of the wrong fluid? If so again the shop should correct this.

I put in a new line and my steering sucks something terrible. It has very little feedback in the beginning then all the sudden it is over compensating the steering. I cannot for the life of me find the plug in for the lower sensor. Does anyone have a pic of where the wiring comes for the body to that sensor, or somebody point me to where it goes.
