Normally if I jumped on the throttle boost levels would spike to 16-18psi then settle to 14psi (at highway speeds). For the last few weeks boost levels would rarely exceed 12psi, then one day it wouldn't exceed 6psi. I switched the car off then back on and it could hit the new norm of 12psi again. It had been a while since I've changed the fuel filter so I had that done and last night I put in a fresh air filter.
This morning I had max boost of 6psi until I restarted the engine then it was able to hit 12psi again.
I've got 36mpg on the last two tanks on b100 (which i've been running for months now), the check engine light is NOT on.
I will check the air box screens to make sure they aren't clogged, but what else should I check?
thanks for the insight
