Ok all you turbo guru's.
my mom has an 85 lebaron with either a 2.2 or a 2.0 efi turbo. few problems which may or may not be turbo related. off the line this car has NO power. its not like it bogs down at all, it just has nothing at all. then once the turbo spools, it pulls unbelieveable. then the car begins to buck and a power loss idiot light comes on, and stays on till you let off the gas. i did a little research, and it said that on these cars if the boost gets too high, it will shut off the fuel until the boost goes down. so what i am thinking is that there is a problem somewhere which is making the boost go up too high. is this the job of the wastegate? i really know nothing about turbos. i am thinking that maybe the lack of power off the line may be cured by a tune up, unless its related to turbo problems. or could this all be an electronic/ computer issue. i know u guys arent chrysler/mopar experts, but any input you have would be helpful. since my z is going off the road this is what i am using for now so i wanna get this thing running a little better. thanks for reading.
