JB4 Issue

alexx03 · 09-17-2012, 10:00 PM

Seem to be having issue with my jb4 system.
Not getting any codes and i have checked all the connectors twice already and they are all fully connected.
Sometimes when I start the car and I go for a spirited drive the car will not boost fully. I am on map 2 and it will barley hit 10psi and you really feel the difference.sometimes switching to map 1 and back to map 2 fixes it,sometimes I have to go to map 0(power off the jb4) and then back to map 2 and the issue is fixed. Sometimes neither of those tricks work and I need to turn the car off and turn it back on. Basically I just play around until it goes back to normal.
Let me know what you think
Thanks guys

Do you have any logs from when this happens?

Shoot Terry an email, his customer service is top notch.

i sent terry an email but it says he is out until Wednesday, i dont have a log because it only happens randomly and dont always have my laptop in the car.

Check the Overboost Safety PSI. What is it set at? I overboosted one time and JB4 shut off until I shut down my car and started it back up again.

Another cause for having very low boost is a leak somewhere within your piping. Check the chargepipe and intercooler piping, make sure that the connections are sealed and tight.

installed a ER chargepipe and bov today so maybe that was the problem with the stock chargepipe being lose somewhere.
problem is i made the stupid mistake of breaking the nipple off the intake manifold....need to fix this first before continuing on with this problem.
thanks for the suggestions anyways
