B21FT sick 200 84

posted by  someone claiming to be John on  Tue Apr 3 18:11 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hello:

Just got my 242 out of winter storage, to discover a new problem. Will start and smooth idle, but no power and max RPM is about 2000-2500 full throttle. Vacuum is low at idle and boost comes in about 50% when I open the throttle (no load on engine/out of gear, car will not even move under it's own power). The rubber tube from fuel distrbuter to turbo "oscillates" after I close the throttle. Exhaust seems to be free and I've checked the breather box for restrictions/signs of mice, etc. I've double checked all hoses, etc., which should be ok anyway as I went through the topend about 2 seasons ago( about 3,000 miles ago)I'm thinking maybe a stuck wastegate, or maybe fuel pressure or water in fuel???

Any other thoughts/ideas?

Thanx, John
