so, today I'm driving home from work, and I noticed my boost was only hitting about 5psi. OBVIOUSLY this is not normal.. So I drive home, pop the hood, and this is what i find.



When I found it, it had been ghetto rigged on, very well I might add. because I did not notice it before. That's when I moved it and noticed it was like this. Must have finally just come apart. So I'm wondering is there any way to fix this? and also, to verify, this should be my boost issue?

bump? trying to figure out what i can do.

Buy a K&N intake or another aftermarket, zzp's intake tube would be the cheapest. ZZP also has a used K&N intake..But yours is basically broke and you need a new pipe.

There is a good how-to, on replacing that nipple with a brass one instead of plastic, i'll look for you or maybe someone here has it on bookmark.

I figured that was the case. Sucks. Oh well I'll probably just super glue it or something while I wait for one to get to me.

tried gluing it.. no luck. wont stay put. is it safe to plug the hole and not connect the line? trying to think of a solution until i can replace it.

so, repaired it. still only hitting 5 psi. although car isnt boggy or anything. now i also have a CEL.

Clean maf using maf cleaner ONLY, then reset computer by taking a battery terminal loose and touching it to the other for 30 seconds. If the code still is there you need to delete it with an obd2 scanner.

its fixed. it was a combination of me repairing the pcv nipple (went to o'reillys and bought one and did it the way sslobalt posted) and ya i reset the computer doing the battery method. thanks guys for all your help. wasn't working at first. probably didnt tighten that back clamp enough.

car was fine last night after i did the fix and reset the CEL. this morning, let my car warm up, and the CEL came back on and now its only boosting 5 psi again. was boosting fine 15 psi last night. i did a search and saw a lot of GMS1 people had this issue. going to clean my maf today and maybe try to take it to a dealer to get codes read.

anybody else have any ideas?

Let us know what code it's setting and we will start there.

also, to avoid any confusion with my last post, im completely stock.

so, after going to so many different places, finally got codes. also got them cleared. cars running good right now. hopefully the CEL doesnt come back. and hopefully my fix lasts until i can get my K&N i ordered. codes were p0102 p0100 & p2187.

seriously why is it so freakin hard just to get someone to read codes. i went to the dealership thinking theyd do it for free. they wanted to charge me 80 dollars for 'diagnostics'. and this other place wanted to charge me 104 and told me "sir we do this for a living." I told him I fix helicopters so i'm probably more mechanically/electrically inclined than all of his technicians. went to an autozone and was about to buy a reader, but this guy told me to go to this transmission place, and they did it for free, and cleared it. took 5 minutes, obviously.

california sucks.

System too lean. Still sounds like you have an air leak in the intake. Maybe try a new intake tube from zzp

i ordered a k & n intake yesterday. hopefully it gets here soon.
