hay guys... i got no boost after the car reaches temp....
well jsut like it says ...no boost after temp is reached...then my engine light comes on.....
i check the code and it came up 56... witch is a vacuum issue it think?
what i dont know is why i would have boost for quite some time and then it just seem to stop....do you think something is over heating?
i picked up a 180 thermostat just for fun....in hopes that it will do some good

I'm leaning toward the Quad B fault that you mentioned in your other thread.
It probably is a BCS, however by removing one of the vac hoses (I don't remember which..I think the one on the BCS you will put yourself into full boost. This is bad as it won't allow your car to dump boost between shifts etc. Don't leave it like this for any longer than needed for testing.

Same procedure. It'* the elbow you're after.
Do NOT run like that long-term. I suspect your PCM is pulling boost to protect itself for some reason.
I'd like you to compare resistance between both of your ECT'* for starters. After that, warm the car up until the problem starts, keep it running, and spray carb cleaner lightly on all vacuum connections, and around the base of the supercharger. If the idle changes, you have a boost/vacuum leak.
