problems/ Overboosting

So, I was driving home tonight and I will remind you right now, I have the stock pulley on my car. I was on teh freeway, floored it in 3rd gear, Was going about 80 mph, I looked and I seen 20 psi. It went from about 14psi to 18 and climbed up to 20, but once it was up there around 17-19, My car kind of stuttered/hiccupped. Any ideas on what it could be? I know it is not right!

Reverse lights dont work, bulbs are fine, fuse is good, checked the wiring, i'm getting no power to my back up lights.


Anybody have any of these problems?

I had that problem once... I actually changed the bulbs anyways.. even though they looked good... and they started working again. Maybe give it a try. Only like 3 bux.

have you had any transmission work done recently? because when i cracked my tranny, and the dealership replaced it, they forgot to re-adjust the reverse position sensor, and when i put the car in reverse, the lights didn't come on, even though the bulbs, fuse and everything else was ok.

My car did that when my cat was clogged. I would be willing to bet that is your problem!
