The boost is limited in the first two gears, so best to watch the boost indicator in 3rd gear at full throttle at RPMs above 3000.
The system will reduce boost if the fuel octane is too low or the plugs are worn/fouled or just the wrong plugs. Fouled fuel injectors also cause problems.
Always a good idea to inspect the plugs when you have running or starting issues. Plugs should be NGK BPCR6ES11's and gap them to .035 - .037". Not .039 as shown on sticker under the hood or in the manual. Do not use the 7ES plug.
Clean injectors and combustion chambers with Techron Concentrate.
Max boost is just to the start of the red zone.
Note boost in 3rd gear, check or replace the plugs and clean the injectors and see evaluate from there. We can help with furhter issues after the above basic steps are taken.
Use Techron every 8K or 3x/year. These engines perform better on premium fuel.
