HI Power Steering intermittent('84GSLSE)

I bought this car knowing the power steering wasnt working but after driving it home and all at a stop light it miraculously started working. I turned it side to side a few times, nice and easy. No whining or anything. Then after about ten seconds it all stopped. Back to dam hard no power steering... Ive rebuilt motors and all but one thing i have never done is tear into a power steering setup. So my question is, How should I go about troubleshooting this? Thanks everyone in advance!

I would start with the FSM: http://foxed.ca/foxed/index.php?page=rx7manual

section 10B of the '85 FSM covers power steering.
