My money is on electrical for obvious reasons, I'd think more along the lines of your actual map sensor being stuffed. If it were the wiring I'd look for tremors in the gauge or fast direct movements vs the arm moving slowly across the gauge face like yours does. My first step to recommend would be...

What do you mean by maximum? so it's pointing at 12 o clock or right over into the red.. as if it were boosting? A little. Its more like it just slowly makes its way all the way to the right hand side of the dial the same way a temperature guage slowly gets hotter and it just settles there for a wh...

I also have a similar issue to what gotrice? stated. Just recently the boost meter on the dash has been starting at normal and then randomly moving all the way to maximum. It doesnt seem to do it all the time and it does seem to do it more when I brake- which seems weird. I have an external boost me...

Re: ...

There is a factory boost cut at 1.0 bar (15 PSI). This may be the problem. Thats weird that you pointed this out, because I came on to post that I was boosting during the day and it didnt cut out, but at night it did and noticed also that it was around the 14.5 psi mark (its hard to keep your eyes ...

The only thing not stock in mine (back when it happened) was the Iridium TX plugs, with a 1.1mm gap instead of the required 0.8mm gap. Hmm I did have new spark plugs put into the car and I dont think it was having the cut out before hand... It does cut back in almost instantly and only at around th...

Slight 'cut out' on boost

Hi there, I have recently purchased an 82 Starion (JA). I have had it tuned and the machanic increased the boost to 11psi (Im not sure if this is the reason for what is happening, but the more info the better I guess :) I also had new turbo spark plugs installed at the time. Anyway, Ive noticed that...

Valve Train Noise

Hi, I got a RAC check on a 1982 Mitsubisha Starion JA. The report came up stating there is some "valve train noise". I cant hear it when I drive or anything, but it is slightly audible when I listen close to the engine. I have been told that this could be due to pistons tending to slightly...
