Blowing fuses is good.. Posted by Ari [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Aero boost problem..., Richard Kurtzer, Fri, 3 Aug 2001 11:15:10 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
For silly reasons. If for nothing else, it is a nice, repeatable problem that should be easy to trace.
First off, unplug the connector on the BPC solenoid, and see if you blow the fuse. If you don't, and plugging the BPC solenoid back in causes the problem, then yes, that's probably it. But it could be a host of others - maybe the wire from the APC to the BPC has frayed on a bulkhead and is shorting. Maybe there's a problem in the APC system.
You're going to want an electrical schematic to trace things out. Disconnect the connector on the APC box and see if you still blow the fuse. If you do, the problem is in the wire between the fuse and the box. If not, try disconnecting things to see where the short may be.
I'm surprised you needed a different gauge to know you're not getting full boost. I'd have figured that the stock dash-mounted boost needle not going above half-yellow when you nailed it.
