oh...and a boost problem too
Here's the story...
Got an oil leak fixed on my '87 TII S4. a few weeks later, I sprayed degreaser on the crud in the engine compartment and went to the U-clean-it car wash and washed the engine and surrounding stuff.
So far all is well. Next morning I head out cross country and I'm getting way too much response out of the turbo. I just press the gas and the gauge moves. If I hold it open accelerating, the gauge goes much higher than i've seen before and the engine starts running rough - like a spark plug is disconnected.
If I let off the accelerator just a bit to make the boost gauge come down to normal range, the engine smooths out and runs like I'm used to.
Any ideas what I washed away to cause this?
Thanks,000,000
