16 Pounds of Boost, Fuel Cut or Boost Cut?
Posted: Sat Nov 02, 2002 8:44 pm
As some of you may know I aquired my 1991 Sport sedan in the summer when I found it abandoned in some brush next to a house. I took it home to fix it up (body wise), which I still am doing now as things progress slowly. So while I fix the car I somtimes take it out for the occasional spin. I always marvelled at the acceleration and it had some pinning, only a full open throttle though. Today I installed a boost guage and found out why it pulls so hard. In third gear I topped the boost out at 16 pounds
!!! But I had no common fuel cut or boost cut. The thing just ran at that boost level. Only sometimes I would get the sudden jerking. Anyone know which one it may be? Boost cut or fuel cut? I'll check it out it's either a seized wastegate actuator or a bad boost solenoid thats keeping the boost that high.
