Default Just Limped her home

for the past few days everytime when i first started it up and took off , it would hit a dead spot then come right out of it , only did it once and it was when you first took off , almost like you let the throttle off but didn't ...

Probably did it 4 times in the last 3 days , well today it did it when i was going to krogers , so i got out and unplugged the quad box from under the hood and put it on my seat ,

when we left it went dead peddle like its been doing and i immedatly went oh crap its not the programmer , thinking APPS or VP44 ....but this time the CEL came on and it didnt come out of dead peddel , limped it 5 miles home ..

Scaned it and got P0236 Turbocharger Boost Sensor A Circuit Range/Performance , tried to clear them and they wouldnt clear , im like WTF this MAC Tools scanner ALWAYS clears them even when ACTRONS do not ...

I tried again and no dice they wouldnt clear ..



So i unhooked the quadzillas MAP connection and put my stocker direct and then pushed clear codes and they went away ....

I just went and ran the dog crap out of the truck and its fine now ,

So i have to send my quad harness and box back to get it repaired ... i really thought i was past this when i replaced my Edge comp 5 times in less than a year . i needed a software update anyway but this sucks ,

Glad to have it driveable and code free and the VP44 is Otay !
