I was a lucky one to get my Bronco at the end of last summer. Drove it thru the fall and parked it early November for the winter.
Spent the last few days putting some accessories on I gathered over the winter and changed the oil. I went to take it out on its first drove of the season and I am having a problem with boost. I have the 7MT and am getting zero boost in 1st gear an almost none in 2nd. The only way I get get any is if I lug the engine some in 3rd-6th. Even then it maxes out at 12 psi. It doesn't appear to be a gauge issue as it is a dog in 1st and definitely not getting any boost.
Initially thought some crawled up the exhaust over the winter but it has been run for 20-30 mins between idling and driving down the road and there are no strange smells like something is getting hot that shouldn't be. I have also tried disconnecting the battery for 25 mins to see if it was hiccup in the ECU. That also didn't do anything.
Thoughts?
