Car is Sold, and now NO BOOST!!

Replaced the forward most solonoid of the rats nest (Green) with a known good one, and now car will not boost at all. At Zero, car falls on face. Need to fix before 8am.

You probably just mixed up a connection. Check all vacuum lines and the electrical connectors to solenoides. If thats not it try swapping the solenoids back or swap the two green ones that are currently in there.

OK... I just checked codes with a Snap on Modis. Code 13 is saying MAP Sensor problem. I checked voltages across map sensor, and pin 1 and 3 are shorted to pin 2 (ground) . Please let me know if this is supposed to be.

Make sure the double throttle isn't stuck, and make sure you don't have a massive boost leak (like forgetting to tighten an intercooler pipe).

It's gotta be something big to make that big of a difference - either you're massively losing air, or the throttle isn't fully opening (ie, double throttle or misadjusted throttle cable).

OK... If i pivot the vacuum operated throttle arm on the back side of the throttle body... with the car off... i hear an air leak near the rats nest, sounds like someone blowing through the vacuum lines? Normal... and is that enough to not boost at all??

Also... Car goes straight to LEAN if trying to accelerate with this problem... Car does rev all the way up to 7k if you do it slow enough not to cause the car to go over 0(Zero) PSI. Car shudders hard ... almost like fuel cut out, when trying to go over Zero.
