Codes and Boost Guage

[tropical 87t]

Need a little help. We have three code on the Super Monitor

ECT 0
CC -
ABS 0
ENK ok

The last one is easy. What does the 0 code mean?

Lastly, the boost guage on the dash is pinned at the top whether the engine is running or just the key is on.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Doesn't that mean you have no codes?

is your turbo pressure sensor pluged in ? it sits on the lh side of the engine bay has three wires and a pressure feed going to it

On the codes, that's what I thought but just wanted to be sure

We found the plug to the boost pressure monitor was unplugged. The guage now reads -4 at idle but does not move under load

ok well youre half way there, check the plastic pipe that feeds the sensor with a pressure vacume feed from the inlet manifold

Ok, we connected the vaccum line from the intake manifold to the t-connector right behind it on the plastic pipe.

That plastic pipe goes over to the pressure sensor that includes a branch-off to the cruise control unit in between right?

Now the boost gauge reads "0" when idling but when driving we get no movement of the boost gauge above "0" and we hear no turbo whine at all. Actually, the engine seems more sluggish where it would usually boost.

Thanks for the help.

boost leak,
check your intercooler hoses and vacuum lines

I checked all the intercooler hoses/clamps and vaccum lines, they all appear correct. Any other ideas?

Check your timing.

ok next job is pull of the big inlet hose to the turbo and see if you can spin the turbo . it should spin nice and smooth .. if it does only other thing it could be is your waste gate jammed , allthough you should see some boost

 

[mrsoup]

actually the guage should read -4 at idle
