Uh oh...is my VP going out?
Yesterday morning I started my truck up and had the check engine light on. When driving, the revs would only go up to 1400-1500 and the turbo wouldn't build any boost. I got on the highway and after about 10 miles of driving, the truck went back to normal.
When I got back into town, I made a quick stop and the truck started acting up again when I started it back up.
Basically, the pedal will take the revs up to 1400-1500 and then it doesn't matter how hard you push the pedal; the turbo won't boost and truck accelerates very slowly. Is this "dead pedal"?
Since I have a 99, I can't do the key cycle to check codes (or so I have read). Anything I can personally check since it might be a day or 2 until I can check codes? Thanks

allonblack, I'm going through the same problem and it is "Dead Pedal". The code 0216 will pop up on a diagnostics.
I still owe about 18,000 on my truck and now i have to replace this crap..lol.

the way im reading into this it sounds as if it is doing it on acceleration from a stop. if this is the case then it sounds like your transmission is slipping.
if you are driving for a while and it does it while cruising, then the problem is your pump.
it sounds like the same problem i was having. i would take off from a stop and only get to 20 mph, then all of a sudden the truck would lunge and then drive normal. the problem was, my trans fluid was draining back to the pan, and the clutches were slipping in the trans.

I can now breathe a HUGE sigh of relief!!
Got the code pulled a few mins ago:
P0237
Turbo/Super Boost
Sensor A
Circuit Low Input
That explains why my truck wouldn't build any boost when accelerating
