here we go…now my car doesnt like to start without messing with the throttle. i have to go wide open, then shut it a bit and itll fire. then i have to keep on the gas to keep it alive. any ideas? it doesnt seem to be boost leaking. could a bad turbo gasket or wastegate gasket cause this? also my boost gauge only reads vacuum. when i give it gas itll jump up to 0 then back to vacuum. any ideas? ---

[/quote] did you check your tps? .5 at idle and 4.5 @ full throttle. I think thats what is was. Vaccuum = good. Boost gauge is working properly. You wont see boost until you “stump” on it dirving. ---

[quote=“JDMjunkie,post:5,topic:35966"”] CKP, and TDC [/quote] by chance are you running an OBD-II ecu? Those codes are VERY important as to how the car will run. ---

lol im running a OBD-1 ECU (chipped P06)…i have a obd-0 to obd-1 conversion harness…im thinking i might have mixed some wires…i had to do a MPFI conversion also…the person who had the car previously fucked up the wiring a bit.
