Dead supercharger? Help with high vacuum reading
Dead supercharger? Help with high vacuum reading
Downloaded the torque app and been using it for this pass 5months now. The boost vacuum was reading -23hg at idle and 15psi at full boost but now its reading -55hg at idle and no boost. If I WOT it the gauge will go down from -55hg to -33hg.
Is the supercharger dead? do I got a vacuum leak some where? Engine seems to be pulling a lot of vacuum some how. Try getting a code but no codes or CEL lights on. Try zip tying the BPV but still the same thing. Dont have any fluctuating of RPM and its a steady 799-888. You can hear the supercharger but doesn't feel as if it has as much power.
Any help will be great. I'll post a picture of the app.

Your car is fine, there's something wrong with the app. It's physically impossible for the intake pressure to be -55"hg. A perfect vacuum is somewhere around -30"hg. Going below this is kinda like going colder than absolute zero. Can't be done.
Go into your vehicle profile and see if the boost adjustment is 0. If not, try 0 first. If that doesn't work, switch it to 14.7 psi (or -14.7 if positive makes it worse). Turn on the ignition but don't start the car, you should read near 0 on the gauge.
DUH! Should've thought about that in the first place, it was the app indeed. I just reseted everything and now works like it should. Now the SES is on and got a real vacuum leak some where or the MAP is going out. BLAH!
