NewZMan Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Ok, I got my 83 280zxt up and running. I noticed at idle the boost gauge is showing pegged past 7lbs. I thought I might have some bad vacuum lines so I replaced all the lines on the car. Still showing over 7lbs boost at idle. Can someone please give this amature a little advice on where to start to find this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinhZXT Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I think your boost sensor is dead. The best way to verify this is to hook up an aftermarket boost gauge. Just T it off any vacuum line from the intake manifold. GL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewZMan Posted September 26, 2007 Author Share Posted September 26, 2007 I figured out what was wrong. I traced the wiring out and found that I had plugged the lead for the boost wrong. It all works now, just have to put the dash back together. Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
