Turbo question

[claymike]

Ok I checked my intercooler clamps, and checked my gauge connections all are ok. The problem I am having is sometimes I have normal boost and other times I am getting 1/4 of normal and low power. Any suggestions.

Is the wastegate sticking open? The moving parts need a little lube every now and then. Also, is it starving for fuel..... is the fuel filter clogged. No fuel = no boost. Finally, the air filter... but I would think that it would be a constant low boost problem.

Lift pump ??????????????

 

[claymike]

Fuel filter and air filter changed about 1,500 miles ago. New lift pump was installed last week.

Time for a new fuel filter. I believe the reccomended change is every 1500mi.

Go to this site http://pub53. ezboard.com/bdieselhp
and post a question. This is Southern Truck Parts and Jeff Garmon can give you some things to possibly look for to. Jnutter may be right... could be the lift pump.

1500 on the fuel filter change is a little quick. I thought it was 10,000.

I thought the manual said 15,000 on the fuel filter change! Okay, one of you guys is in the fuel filter business, right? #ad


Have a great one!

Alright, David, you got me. 15,000. Dang. Look at the money I'll save now.

Could it be a faulty map sensor/or connection?
