I thought about the p/s pump, but last time we serviced the car the water resevoir was full. I think he cut a radiator hose somewhere. I haven't messed with it in daylight yet, but I will see if I can find where one was severed. He may have other leaks as well, but we will have to take it to a mechanic. I really wish it was p/s pump, but I doubt it. We will try putting some fluid in and maybe it will be enough but even if it was cranking a little slow after a while the engine should still catch. Thanks for replies.
