Which means the fault isn't the solenoid. The solenoid can't just power up all by it's self without it being told to switch on and off.In case you missed it in this thread and the other one you started today... It's the tune.

It's the tune. It's the wastegate dyno duty cycle value that has been farked with to get boost up, rather than doing it the proper method using the desired boost and wastegate duty cycle tables. Your boost is probably running in open loop mode as well, meaning there's no error correction for changes in charge temps etc.This problem is SOOOO 2005 ish :lol: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/31329-boost-solenoid-maintenance/page/29/#findComment-868068 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The throttle body clean fixed my rough idle though.
