CerberuS Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 So not sure what happened, but if I'm not mistaken my car was idling around -15 to -20 in hg and now it's just sitting at 0. When you get on it half to full throttle it still hits boost fine and reads accurately but the actual vacuum seems off. We checked all the lines seems to be fine and not a leak not really sure what else to do at this point. Is this ok to drive until I sort it out though?

RB26powered74zcar Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Check for a vac line with a crack/ split in it. Is your gauge factory or after market? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CerberuS Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 Ok i'll check again nah I'm running autometer ultralite 2 mechanical for all my guages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CerberuS Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Now we checked all the lines for holes/tears or kinks everything was fine in that regard. This time though when driving in 3rd and 4th it will climb boost and without even letting off it just drops down and then will quickly flash to possible said boost. I have noticed a loss of power also now. Were going to run full boost leak tests either tonight or tomorrow. Only other thing I can think of is since my clutch was starting to act up rbrm jpihj its pretty new it needed to be bled and it was slipping now we bled the one slave cylinder valve but there is another one on top or whatever we didn't bleed that one though cause wasn't sure if we should. I got part of my clutch pedal back but it still has a bit too much play and isn't as firm as it was a couple days ago. It's also being somewhat noisy while going into gear. I've heard that the clutch can affect the boost while the engine is under load so maybe and hopefully it's something as simple as just bleeding the other cylinder. Not sure what else to do at this point other then that. It's at least underboost and not over boosting. I am not hitting near as much boost as I was and the gauge is acting funky the way it's reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skirkland1980 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I had this problem. There was water in my gauge. I just blew it out and was fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CerberuS Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Also after looking at it closer I'm guessing that thing I thought was another cylinder is just the clutch dampener? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea not having that issue sadly it's actually a boost leak that we can't find/figure out. We bled that clutch dampener also that helped so much with the pedal. Now only issue is this damn boost leak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
