No Mojo and p0243 code.

[Swamp Donkey]

I have a juice with attitude with the hot program. My truck right now is a guttless wonder that will only hit about 15psi of boost. The 0243 code is a Turbocharger Wastegate Solenoid A malfunction. Now I think I have most of my problem solved... ... ... ... . This wastegate solenoid must be malfunctioning. Do I just replace the solenoid? Is it actualy connected to the wastegate that could be sticking? Smash something with a hammer? Dealership to clear a code?

Help? Anyone?

the 04. 5+ trucks use an electronically controlled wastegate. I would assume that it has failed and is stuck open. The code should not be causing the low power, because many people run around with that code when they install an aftermarket turbo and disconnect the stock w/g.

Cool, thanks. I have had that code before with no ill effects that I have noticed. But that code with no boost tells me a little more. Would you think it is the actual solenoid or just a sticking wastegate? I know nothing about these turbo's and solenoids! LOL
