Low boost reading on guage
Well i tried to figure out if i had a vaccum leak and i didnt find anything. The car is runnin the right amount of boost, at least it doesnt feel sluggish, but the boost guage wont read over 2psi now, it climbs right up to 2psi like it would 8psi before. I just cant figure it out, any help guys?

plugged MAP sensor? I am guessing mine blew apart due to high boost levels (11+) for extended time, but it might have been somewhat plugged too.
I don't know if there is a way to test them, but I'm sure someone here know how.
Good luck,
Martin

I went to auto zone to get it scaned about a month ago but since 95 is the transition year from obd1 to obd2 they couldnt scan my bonnie. It hooked up though, just couldnt read it.
