jeryst Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I've owned my wagon for over a month now, and I never see the Turbo light come on, even under hard acceleration. The car runs really well, and seems much quicker than the 94 non-turbo Loyale that I last had. Actually, I did see the turbo light come on a couple of times one day when I was on the interstate with the A/C on, and going up a long hill. But other than that, I've never seen it come on. Should it come on under hard acceleration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 It should come on very easily. You should install a cheap boost gauge to see if you are even getting any boost pressure. The light comes on based on a pressure switch - when manifold pressure goes positive (higher than ambient air pressure) the switch trips the light. Could be a bad switch.... or perhaps you aren't actually getting much boost. Which doesn't sound like it's the case since a turbo without boost is pretty gutless due to the low compression ratio.

Should it come on under hard acceleration? Yes it should come on. You may have a sticking boost control valve (forget the exact name right now).

GeneralDisorder Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Loyale's were only availible with the EA82T for one year - '90. So it's probably an 85 to 89 Turbo..... but it could be a '90. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
