Weird problem. I need help >.>

[Goshinki]

While driving up hill with a constant speed. My waste gate or something will get stuck.

Check engine light comes on I lose about half my power.

Datamaster said it was my waste gate code.

New 20g Turbo.

If I get on the gas with this check engine light my blow off valve starts screaming so my engine is over boosting while this is happening. If I turn off my truck it fixes the problem after a minute or two.

Seems to happen randomly. But it always does it when I am staying at a constant speed going up a hill.

Other wise my car drives fine.

Currently my waste gate rod needs to be extended I am only running at 12 PSI or so.

No one got any ideas?

"While driving up hill with negative boost (So a nice and easy steady throttle). My waste gate or something will get stuck."


"Seems to happen randomly. But it never does it when I am accelerating up a hill."

Your post is kind of contradictory.

If I am accelerating I have never had a problem of it getting stuck.

If I am just cruising up hill at 60 mph or any constant speed my waste gate seems to get stuck.

Sorry for the confusion XD

so the extra psi to open a wastegate opens it but otherwise it jams?

sticky wastegate - so either the solenoid is broke, you have a vac line to the solenoid not working or your wastegate actuator is on it's way out - "new" as in off the shelf or "new" as in from someone's garage?

New as in shelf new.

I'll make sure all the lines and wiring are nice and clear make sure nothing is getting pinched.

How do I check my solenoid? I got to google what the it is though =P



Still none the less this is strange to only happen when driving up hill at a constant speed...

Still having this issue and it seems to be getting stuck for longer periods of time.

Didn't seem to have any lines pinched.... Sounds like I am going to replace the solenoid to be safe.
(I have been putting this off because of other things on my plate)

Any other ideas? If not where should I buy a solenoid from?

Re: Weird problem. I need help >.>

your watsegate problem should be only there while being in boost. sticky wastegate while being in vacuum is good. search on how a wastegate works

Re: Weird problem. I need help >.>

I understand that it is meant to only open when under boost.

Basically when I have this issue the waste gate will only let a little exhaust escape when under boost. So if I keep accelerating I will over boost.

Even while driving at an idle speed with this issue I can air hissing so I am assuming the waste gate wedged open a little.

If I come to a complete stop the issue fixes itself after about 30 seconds.

These are all stabs in the dark based on what I hear and feel.

boost leak?

Re: Weird problem. I need help >.>

Just to restate myself. This waste gate issue only happens while driving at an idle speed up hill.

Yes the boost seems to leak slowly but not quick enough to stop me from over boosting.

Seems like waste gate just gets wedge open a little bit.
