f as they should when the tcu is powered up, the waste gate cycles thru prop

se, go below 2300rpm and the light goes out. With the engine off and the tur
bo powered up the yellow light also is off at idle throttle setting and if I
advance the throttle the light starts blinking and will stop as I pull back
. So it seems that the throttle sensor is sending a signal to the tcu as it m
oves. But what is the issue? Sensor, tcu, other.

earched this and have seen it discussed but the threads just end with no res
olution, so I know I'm not alone out there.

s adding boost too soon for the throttle setting which also points to the th
rottle sensor.

c in dos! So I can't plug in my pc and test it myself. Anybody know if a don
gle is available and software? Maybe Lockwood or?
