Ok, so I get a new TPS and put it on, I unplug and check all plugs making sure they are clean, I pull the dist. cap and check it and clean the contacts, I check all vac. hoses etc. Then, I notice at the driver's side firewall there is the main harness and some wires are visible. I pull it out some and see that two wires are chewed (by squirrels which were living under the hood) and one of them was just scraped but the other was in half totally. It was GREEN with RED stripe.... the MAP sensor wire. I checked it with the meter and verified that that was it and so I soldered it back together and there it was. NO CODES. It's a great feeling when it cranks right up, idle settles down nice and low, purrs good, and everything is right. I took it down the side street 4 times to see how it would run. Ran great, pulled hard boosted up but then on the last run I noticed that it only gave me 5psi of boost. I don't have a tag on it yet so I went down the street real quick and still only 5psi. It has a grainger valve, I addded an intercooler to it being a 2.5 so I know it's something simple but I can't remember what causes it to go back to minimum 5psi. Wastegate vac line? I looked quickly but didnt' see anything disconnected but it was getting dark and I was tired so I parked it. So, what to check now? Otherwise it runs great. IT's on LOW FUEL too so I know it's almost outta gas and I didnt' wanna run out with an expried tag so I'll get the tag tomorrow and then fill up and then wash it and all that but I want my boost. I forgot how freaking fast this car is. FUN to drive too. thanks for all the help.
