When I turn the wheel either way there is a terrible grinding. also when the car is ideling in park the car cuts off and runs funny is anyone else having these problems so I can get an idea of what it might be? The grinding would that be in my powersteering pump or would it be the axel? The ideling I have no clue.

Noises are difficult if not impossible to dianose from cyberspace. The power steering may be low on fluid, check and adjust level with ATF. The idle control issue will require having the system scanned for faults.
