Hello everyone, been quite a while since I have been on the site. Mostly just life dictating where my time is to be spent. 
 

With that said though, I have come to ask for the wisdom you guys have and get a little guidance on what I hope and believe to be a small issue.

 

I literally drive my 99 a couple times a month at best, maybe 5-6 times startup and move somethings around on the property. So maybe a month ago I started it up to move a trailer and immediately Knew I had a busted brake line. No big deal, ordered a new set, waited to have time to do it and repaired them. Fast forward to Tuesday and I decided to get it out for a little drive to really check the brakes and just let it run. 
This was less than enjoyable as my truck did not perform normal....felt very much stock if you will. I am not sure if I even still have a sig on here so here is a brief run down. 
 

99 5 speed

valair clutch

AFE blade runner intake

BHAF

DAP 125’s

Assassin fuel pump

twin filter setup

edge drag COMP 5x5

 

I haven’t checked for boost leaks yet, but it doesn’t drive that way. It drives as if it isn’t fueling. I’d expect a lot of black smoke if it were a boost leak, but it’s quite the opposite, usually I have a little prior to 10lbs and now it’s nothing, no haze, no power. Just feels stocking. It still fuels to above 2700, but has no grunt doing it. Only seeing about 18 lbs of boost, and while I can and do avoid it, I have always been able to see 35+. 20-21 lbs of fuel pressure is still there and consistent.

the fuel in the truck is probably a mix of up to 6 months old but I drained some from my dual filter setup and it appeared just fine. I’m sure I’m forgetting pertinent info but I’d be happy to hear suggestions and thoughts. As always this is the place I trust for those.
 

thanks guys.

Looks like I do have code P0237.  I have the checklist saved somewhere I believe. I will find it and follow it through. I’m sure it’s the original MAP sensor and maybe it’s tired. A little trouble shooting will tell the tale. Thank you sir.

So, aside from the PM I sent you the other day I hadn’t really had a chance to sit down and do an update. With that said, you have been spot on so far. When I sent you the PM, it was because of this.(pic) the boost cooler wires had corroded and broke, not just one but 3 of 4 had corroded and broken. Both white wires were broken inside the connector. With that said, this is not an off the shelf connector not is it off the shelf terminal pins that I could simply replace. 
In the interim of that, I have disconnected everything and while I haven’t been out and about, the truck is I believe is performing fine. I have made two phone calls to edge and the second one rendered better results than the first and I should have the parts I need to fix it within a few days.   Once I receive them I will

make my needed repairs and update. However, what I PM’ed you about is still on the table. Lol.

Thanks again for your help.
