jvanen Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 Hey I have been constantly working on this problem of mine. At first I thought I had a boost leakage but ends up The popoff valve is what I am hearing. I am overboosting some how. I know that this car hasn't run right since the Alternator went sky high, taking the headlights with it and a few other electrical things. I'm wondering if it might have screwed up the computer. If you can get the car to start.... you have to keep it above 2k or it will straight away die. Now I have an 83zxt computer in it and I have a 81 zxt computer laying here, Will the 81zxt computer work with the 83 zxt wiring? Or will I just screw something else up? thanks for all the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperZ Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 Electrical problems will not cause overboosting. You should get a boost gauge to verify that is what is happening. Unless the car is really misbehaving, like missing or dying, your computer is probably ok. Overboosting is most likely your wastegate controller or wastegate not opening.

jvanen Posted November 13, 2003 Author Share Posted November 13, 2003 I finally found my problem....It was my Throttle positioning sensor. I got it taken care of and it runs like a champ!! Thank you for the help. I got a lot of stuff eliminated that might be causing trouble. Z ya later John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest znow white Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 Is that the clip with the 2 blue wires (blue wire w/ brown line, blue wire w/ green i think) clipped on the throttle boddy? jvanen...were you experiencing any boost at all? becuase my car has the same problem but the turbo is shot. plus the seal on jpipe where the outlet was leaking air too, and the 2 wires on the throttle sensor been ripped out!!! DAMN I have allot of problems I have all the spare parts its gonna take a while thought fixing it up....I wanna give that whole side of the engine a new "refresh" oh yah the turbo f*cked after the wastegate rod popped out.
