Re: Engine almost cuts out

Thanks. How do I know how much I'm overboosting now though? I'm guessing its only like 1 psi. It was creeping up over 15psi. I guess I can just do one turn then test it on the freeway and see until I find the desired area. Where's the thing I'm supposed to turn though...lol... :oops:

Knowone has mentioned that it may be the stock chip cutting out because of overboost. I don't know if you know that.

Second, I don't know how much adjust thing WG will help unless it is major. What you want to adjust is on the pass. side behind the fender-well when looking though the fender (above the tire). Not looking down from the engine. Taking out the fender-well and jacking the truck up a bit helps so you can get your arm in there. You'll see the brass colored WG rod, a pin, and a nut. pull the pin, loosen the nut, pull the arm off and turn...put arm back on, put pin back in, tight'n nut.

Also, you aren't likely to "see" your vacuum leaks...you should repalce all the vacuum hoses anyway as they are probably cracked to hell if they are stock.

cap/rotor, the correct plugs, good wires (taylor or something) will help a ton.
