Sensor for boost guage?
What sensor controls the boost gauge on the 00 Bonnie? Mine has apparently gone out because my gauge just sets just below 0 regardless of throttle position. I have checked the vacuum lines & haven't found anything so I'm assuming it'* the sensor.

Do a simple test. Pull the vacuum hose/elbow off the bottom of the BCA (round black cylinder). If your boost doesn't return like it should, I wouls strongly suspect the BCA if you really don't have any vacuum leaks

Cool thanks guys I'll check it out.
BTW, I do still have Boost just no gauge reading. I think the first person mis understood my question.

Well after another look I found the culprit. It was the T fitting under the SC snout. It was cracked apart at every end & pretty much fell apart when I touched it. I didn't catch it before because I didn't feel around on it just glanced over everything & it looked ok for what I could see. Anyway I replaced it & problem solved...
