Okay so i start my car today and it drives fine then i went to go for an interview and when im done with that i drove to my friends house and left it running it idled 900-1100 for all of that then when i came back out it was idling at like 500 to that line above 0 and when i would drive my boost gauge needle would shake when im building boost. does anyone know what would be wrong????



P.S. the car has a EFI PMS in it



thanks

Josh

My motor had those symptoms when I blew the sucker.. above 1000 or so it was smooth, but at idle it sucked ***.



Check the map sensor, too.
