I reset my ecu last night and it was running great. 2-4th I was hitting 12-14psi. The same was for this morning. I just got back from lunch and i could only get 8-10 in 3rd&4th. ALso, my gauge now reads-24 @ idle. It was reading aorund -21. And it doesn't zero when I turn off the car. What could of happened??? please help

Hmmm....the fact that it doesn't go to zero says something is wrong. Sounds liek your boost gauge is faulty. Resetting your battery wouldn;t have caused that. Does car feel just as fast? if it does then it has to be your boost gauge....just take it in and have them order you a new one.

It feels normal, but not as fast as it was last night hitting higher boost levels.

Maybe it's just a coincidence that your gauge went out after your reset the computer....i can't think of anything you could have done to make it act like that. I would take it in.

I just went out and started it again. Now it idles correct, but doesnt zero. its on the farthest edge of the "0" color.

ya, when my car is off the needle sits at the edge of zero, pretty much pointing at the 1psi dash line. could be normal, who knows.

 

[iupui1299]

Anyone else know if that sounds normal? Mine is always in the 0 range at off.

anyone

Remember, Dodge installed the cheapest boost gauge they could find. The PT does even have one. Get an aftermarket one and replace it. It's more accurate anyway.
