No power problem!

Out of no where today My truck is having a problem. When i parked it yesterday IT was running fine. Now all of a sudden when im shifting gears i have no power until it hits around 1800 RPM and boost kicks in? Any ideas at all?

Maybe the ebpv is sticking. Try unplugging the solenoid on the front of the turbo pedastal.

This thread shows a pic of the pedastal and plug:

You are probably going to access it from the valley. It has a little wire clip on it that you pull back to release IIRC.

If you unplug it without it running it will be open.

I just tie wrapped it to something that had wire loom on it so it couldn't short out if it came in contact with metal.

Glad to hear. I would check your EBP sensor: Welcome to guzzle's Exhaust Backpressure Sensor Cleaning Maintenance Web Page

If that is acting up/getting clogged the pcm may be getting erroneous data from the sensor and cause the ebpv to act up. This will probably affect your mpg and performance if you are getting bad readings from the ebps.

The only other thing I can think of is the ebpv is physically getting stuck while operating.
