PO243 code ???? Anyone???

I have a check engine light on and went to Autozone to pull the codes. Got 2.

A PO243 and a PO325.

I know that the PO325 is the knock sensor and may be due to faulty wiring for my SAFCII.

But what about the PO243? I looked on other sites for other cars and it sounds like a wastegate sensor or something...hmm..

Any help???

What were you going when the 243 code came on? What kind of boost was it showing when the code came on?

I had a 243 code and it was engine overboost condition, my MBC line was kinked.

That has nothing to do with that. On the stock ecu with an MBC will create a 243 code which will be almost like the fuel cut-off, I just replicated it today. But the only bad thing it will keep the engine light on which will be a rich "tune" without some sort of piggyback or standalone.



EDIT: Yes the solenoid must be plugged in, read it wrong

I do not have the solenoid plugged in. I will try that first. I didn't find any kinks in the lines. Will not having the solenoid hose tips not capped off make a difference?

Having the electrical plug connected is all you need. If it was unplugged, that is why you got that code.

It is a MBC, it may be a little spikey, I know the one I have is and coming home last night I threw the code again. I need to get my EBC back from HKS. This MBC thing is starting to **** me off
