MCWILLY Member 190 Member For: 12y 10m 29d Posted 17/06/13 10:58 PM Share Posted 17/06/13 10:58 PM Hi,I have a standard bf xr6t and just recently the car has the check engine light come on when driving it hard. it gets to 3rd gear coughs and splutters and then engine check light comes on. I have a OBD2 bluetooth scan tool that I used to check the codes and it appeared with the P1227 which appears to be wastegate overboost.Any ideas what would be causing this?I have done some searching and most people that have this error have it when they get a tune which isnt applicable to my case. I will be checking the wastegate solinoid and hoses this afternoon.is there anything else to check?Thank you chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
