No Boost???

Dominatorj · #1 (**permalink**) 09-18-2006, 04:31 PM

I drove my '04 to the store yesterday, and everything was fine. But when I came out & started it up & took off down the road, the truck had no power. It was turnig plenty of rpm's but when I looked at my Edge attitude gauge display, the truck was not making any boost??????

I took the truck home and let it sit for about 4 hours, then I went out and took it for a drive, and everything was fine??
Just got the truck about one month ago and this is the first time I have had this problem.
Anyone ever experience this????
Thanks,
J

The vanes stuck. There is a reflash that cycles the vanes when the key is turned to the ON position. Keith

This just happened again!

I stopped, shut the truck off and restarted, and it was ok.

Is this a sign of bigger problems to come in the near future???

I've heard of vanes sticking before. That's one sucky thing about VGT's

I would think that even if the vanes stuck it would still build SOME boost, just may take awhile to wind it up and sppol the turbo, just my 2 cents

So is there anything I can do to make this go away....and stay gone???
Should the turbo be replaced? It's under warranty.

Thanks again,
Jason

they will need to clean or replace the turbo depending on what they find, but this is defiantely something to let the dealer handle
