Has anyone heard of this happening??

I was having boost spiking issues so i replaced all the vac lines, that didnt do anything. When i took out the apex actuator valve out of the vacuum mix the spiking was gone.

I installed back again the AVC-R valve and clamped the hoses down to make sure of no leakedge but it still spikes to 1.46 when the AVC-R is "off".

That makes me tend think that the valve is bad, now before i go out and buy one anyone else heard of this??

I searched on here and on alot of other forums i go on and didnt really notice people talking about bad avc-r valves....

 

Yeah, I had 2 boost solenoids go out on my old AVC-Rs back in the day. I think you can get them for about $100.00 or so. Good Luck.

 

damn i was affraid of this.........

thanks for the info
