I have an 05 CRV that started acting up recently. The steering is very rough and like my power steering is out, it is worse at different times. The rpms act weird as well and today I was driving and it stalls out a few times right in a row and didnt want to go above 35-40. I pulled over and turned off the ignition and I was able to go on normally

I'm bad at diagnosing car issues. But if your throttle is jumpy/stalling, the fuel pump could be bad. You can check your fuel pump by holding your ear next to the pump while a helper turns the car on. If the fuel pump is working you should hear it whirring as the pump primes.

I might not be diagnosing the issue correctly but at least it's a starting point.

Seems like the steering could just be an additional symptom of the engine not running correctly. Maybe if the engine ran like it should the steering would be fine as well?
