Did you make sure your steering pump belt is tight - sometimes thats all it is.

sounds like the pump- check belt tightness, could be a bad/worn out pump, or you need more flow coming from the pump

some one said to take out the plunger/valve thing in the back of the pump

What are specs on your system? Pump size/make, cylinder bore/stroke, valve size, etc. This information is kind of important.
