Strangest thing happened today. 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be Terence Lui on  Fri Nov 17 02:12 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Hi everyone,

I was adjusting my wastegate actuator rod this morning because I wasn't exactly running 16.5psi at full boost. Guess I went too far, it hit almost 18psi at max boost, then the check engine light came on. So I thought to myself "I screwed up big time!!!". Went home and checked the codes. Basically ALL the misfiring codes were there!!! After I adjusted the wastegate rod back to the correct setting, I cleared the codes and went for a drive. For the first 2-3 miles at highway speed, the car was stuttering big time. Then after that, it's all back to normal. Engine runs smooth and well, boost builds up nice and quick. After driving for most of the morning, no codes and check engine light. So what is the deal? Anything else to be concerned about? Thanks.

Terence
