boost by gear wont work. troubleshot everything HELP!

Post by hyperhatch »

read the s300 help file until my eyes crossed. troubleshot all wiring and hoses. still nothing.. this is dirving me insane.
PLEASE HELP ME FIGURE THIS OUT.

im running a turbo ls setup with a precision sc5431, tial 38mm wg, gm normally open solenoid with diode.

So, no matter what setting i try the solenoid never seems to activated and do anything it always just shoots straight to boost cut at 15psi and i only have the 3.6 psi spring in the wg.

heres what all ive done during troubleshooting:
checked all vacuum hoses hooked up correctly and in good condition(new&no leaks)
verified 12v switched to solenoid
verified continuity for ground from solenoid to ecu A11
just got ecu back from hondata from haveing bbg components installed (verified they are there also)
unpluged and jumped solenoid to battery and it clicks everytime
verified wg is not stuck by hooking up and running with solenoid out of loop and runs ~3psi like it should

have it set up on normally open and have tried 1-40% in increments and about 60-95% on fixed duty cycle and on high and lower freq's 30~80hz

WHY is nothing happening with the solenoid?? Any ideas on what else i can try or something i may be missing?

alright so ive been reading and searching for a few hours today trying to find an answer.. i came across a thread that said to set activation to 0kpa to activate with just the ign on.. this works as far as showing that the ecu is sending out whatever PWM% i have set but still no clicking at all from the solenoid. also put a small test light on the plug off my gm solenoid and get no ground from the ecu to the bulb no matter what duty % i put in. but i do have power there at the plug and i do have continuity on the signal wire from the plug to the ecu at A11

this leads me to believe there was a problem with the component install ? was installed by hondata last week

Where do you have it connected for power?

From fuse box under dash. It has 12v switched to the solenoid for sure. Been verified over and over. Just checked to see if I was getting any thing out of A11 with a multimeter and I get nothing.
