| I had the same problem right around 3K miles. The dealer told me, more or less, that the computer crashed. They re-flashed the computer and I have had no further problems. I have only put 400 miles on it in the last 5 weeks because I was out of town.

| I just experienced the same thing. No Boost and engine light. Just started happening. Wasn't driving hard only 30mph. I just got mine in May. You'd think they would have the latest computer software installed. I have 5500kms on mine. |

| heres a trick for u guys if u have a cylinder misfire. turn the ignition key to on do not start and unplug the cannon plug on the ecu closest to the bumper then plug it back in and than turn the ignition to off and what that will do is clear those codes for overboost or clilynder misfire etc |

That's not entirely true. You can and can't clear a hard code with a CAN code reader. You can turn off the CEL, but if you've lost boost it will not return until the car has went through 3-4 warm up and cool down cycles. For example: If you throw an overboost,underboost, or misfire code, all of them will put you in limp mode (no boost). You can clear the code the first time and get full boost back. If it happens again within 50mile of the first code, it will put you back into limp mode. This time you'll only be able to clear the light, but your boost will not return until the car has went through 3-4 warmup and cool down cycles. However the Starscan can clear them and bring back full boost instantly without the need for the heat cycles. Starscan is very expensive , but far more superior to the CAN code reader. That's why the unit is around $5000. | |

| Same problem .... had that same thing happen to me shortly after breaking in the car ( about 350 miles ) the check engine light came on and the car wouldnt boost up . Took it to the dealer 5 days atfer i bought it and they said that the 4th cylinder leaned out .... they went and did some cylinder work but no luck ... Turned out The motor was defective and I got a new " Revised motor " Installed from Chrysler ... I spoke with the mechanic that put the motor in and he said that the turbo was destroyed , and an oil line that came from the turbo failed ...I told him that I pretty much babied the car for the break in period . He told me not to worry and that I wasnt at fault after chrysler called and sent the new motor and turbo in ( Along with a new cataylytic convberter , they said it was broke apart inside ..) lol Anyways new motor is in and the car runs GREAt knock on wood ... and thats my horror story for the day lol... |

| No Boost As Well This past Friday, I heard a loud clunk in my front end, and 2 seconds later 'check engine" light comes on. Now the dealer has explained that there is a TSB on the injectors. Ok great, but what was the clunk? I was told by others that it might be my blow off valve. I had only been getting 10PSI from the day I got it, and I know I should be getting at least 14 maybe 15? So maybe this had just been a problem from the beginning, and It just surfaced. So, I get my car back Tuesday, and I'm hoping I'll see (and feel) that extra 4 to 5 PSI. |

I believe 14 PSI is the PSI you should be getting stock...I notice that it only goes that high on 3rd gear? Well sorry to hear about that problem you're having...I've been having loads of problems hopefully that isn't my next lol. | |
