The truck was running fine for the 1st hour. Then the idle went high. Since then I did swap the MAP sensor. And it changed nothing.

Re: Look at your boost gauge... Im having trouble
you didn't accidentally put a check valve or something in that line did you? .... try putting some pressure on the sensor... I've had one stick before (use a compressor at 20psi or something similar)

Stock boost gauge sucks. I hope that's not what you're going by.

A check valve in the line?
Again... I touched NOTHING on the truck,. it ran great and we were driving it around. Then next time we started it without touching anything it was idling at 2500 rpm. Since then i started swapping parts around from the wrecked truck to this ones trying to solve the problem.

Re: Look at your boost gauge... Im having trouble
Do you have a scan tool to see what ECM says your Map sensor is reading (incase your Intrument cluster is broken)? It should be vacuum if the engine is idling (even at 2000 rpm). If it doesn't you need to figure out why it is doing that either map, ecm, wiring, vaccum line etc. If its reading boost you know its not the vacuum line or check valve)

Re: Look at your boost gauge... Im having trouble
Found the issue!! Replaced the little box with 2 wires, and 2 vac lines going into that sits on top of the turbo. replaced the vac lines there as well and I drove the truck home tonight! WOOOO!!! Its in my garage as we speak!
After over a decade I finally have a typhoon in my garage as of tonight!
Ok so I need to get datamaster. kwick6 Im lookin at $195 plus shipping?
Not cheap huh?
Is it user friendly or do i need to be a mechanical genious to use it? I know nothing about this stuff.

Re: Look at your boost gauge... Im having trouble
Call it cheap insurance
$200 vs. $5000 for a new engine starts to look like a deal.
Datamaster is easy to use. Just install the software and plug in the cable. After you get used to it, you'll want to keep a laptop in your truck all the time.
