no boost very low hp

I think a got bad load of gas, filled up a month ago drove approximately 10 miles home it was drizzly. Noticed right way, a few blocks slight hesitancy figured it was the rain. Never seemed right on the way home. Today was first time driving again.

Driving today really bad. Zero boost above 3 rpm, only few psi, only 60hp or so. No knocking. Got some bad gas before that caused knocking, self defined to 150 hp.

should just drive out the gas?

could it be something else?

thx!

Is it going into "engine power reduced" mode? Are you throwing any other codes?

His post says MAF, but that to me sounds like Autozone read the code P0101 and told him to replace it.

To the OP. If your problem comes back, check for boost leaks.

I agree it sounds like a P0101, that's why I was wondering what he replaced.

boost leak

When cold power is normal.

Does car throw a turbo code for a boost leak? Turbos work or not, once there is no boost the turbo is locked, frozen correct? Car has Boost then goes to zero.
