2.3 turbo problem help! Reply #20 – January 24, 2009, 10:46:47 PM sounds like you have a fuel problem more than a computer problem. but I would start at the fuel pressure regulator pull the hose off and see if the inside is wet with fuel or smells of fuel. if this is the case change it and the problem should go away. also check your turbo for significant shaft play or contact of the compressor wheel with the housing.

2.3 turbo problem help! Reply #24 – January 29, 2009, 10:32:28 PM Was the engine @ operating temp when you did the test? Also, you need to clear the codes, they don't "erase" themselves.To do that you just pull the jumper wire out just as it starts returning codes as you're running the test.Alternatively you can disconnect the battery overnight to erase them.
