yah i have put back my 3.8 inch stockl pulley and no change

 

[biggt]

if your running a 3.8 now and nothing changed

maybe you have a chipped piston?

ignition issues?

 

[blueguy]

Check the plugs

 

[torq455]

Are you reading full boost on your gauge?

 

[chevyy1212]

Id do the compression test first off and go from there.

 

[gtpzzp]

no im not reading full boost som time 2 line thats it and its a motor with 90.000 km and the car runs way better without the supercharge belt it would be a chip piston it would run like **** all the time.

Check for a vacuum leak? Checked the plugs yet? Have any SES lights?

chipped piston doesnt necessarily mean ur gonna run like ****... i ran on 2 chipped pistons for almost a year with no signs of it being chipped other than broken spark plugs. check the rubber T under the snout.

 

[gtpzzp]

whats the rubber t under the snout and can you tell me if you know whats the sensor behind the motor betwen the motor and the trans its in and hard place to get it out ,,mine was broken and mabey thats my problem

 

[torq455]

Can't you have low boost with a bad, is it, boost actuator?

That is the rear knock sensor. And yeah, it can be a bear to get out.
That won't be the reason it's not reading full boost though, Either you have a bad vac leak on the lines, or the boost valve isn't closing, which gives you about 4-6 lbs of boost at most.

Some people run with only one knock sensor working for a while without even noticing it, it's important to have both working though.

Holy run on sentences OP

 

[Lacboi]

sounds like the bbv solenoid. i just unpluged mine and boost came back

 

[matt5112]
