Default Rough at idol and boost is -35

My service engine light is now on and the engine is running VERY rough at idol, heavy smell of exhaust, and my boost gauge is running -40 to -35 (bouncing) instead of the normal -60. Any ideas???

Thanks guys.

There'* a post in General Chat. From DrJay. Just follow it. You'll need the software from mIRC.com if you don't already have it.

Easy now! Don't be damning us. They're all made in the US.

Too bad it isn't in psi....with mine pegging at 70.
