avc-r solanoid

[crate]

hi guys

got a strange problem with avc-r

for some reason the solanoid dosen't engage anymore

Ussually I will hear a click sound when the boost setting is changed from A to b

All the other sensor seem to still be working (duty ,revs ,kms,etc)

But no boost

it stopped working while it was on a dyno run ,

the mechanic found some pretty eratic spiking going,so i guess im lucky it happened on the dyno

so he set the boost to run of the actuator so i guess its pretty much running standard

I am not 100% sure how to test or where to start ,has anyone had the same problem or

Any idea why this may of happened

Perhaps check the actual tubing? I've never had an EBC but I thought there was some issue there if you didn't mount it close enough to something else it would spike up?

Also it may be worth testing the actual solenoid - now I'm not sure how much current it's expecting (i would imagine 12v) but if you're mechanically/electronically minded you could always try to set off the solenoid itself with an electrical feed like a battery - just to see if it clicks over. If it doesn't solenoid is busted.

*insert disclaimer here: never owned an ebc could be totally in the wrong*

If it doesnt click, dismantle the solenoid and give it a clean, (take the coil - black bit) off the top and see if there is any gunk in there.
