What are the symptoms of a waste gate actuator failing? In my 99 f250 I'm pretty sure its my issue but I'm told it should be smoking . I don't smoke but I loose crazy power. ( 45 min ride turned 4 hrs) and have a terrible noise that comes out my exhaust used to happen a bit on warm up but stopped now it dose not stop unless I hammer through it then as long as I keep rpm up it works as soon as rpm drops it starts again any body have different ideas
they are saying it should be smoking because when wastegates wear out they wont hold causing low boost and if its bad enough can cause excessive black smoke form unburnt fuel.. What exactly does the noise sound like that your hearing.. give a little more info..
The noise is hard to explain but it sounds like its just throwing out all my boost its really loud and I loose all power but it seems like temperature is a factor if its 55 °or under it non stop any thing above 60 it won't do it
i'd bet it's the ebpv stuck partially or all the way shut.
