[s-cars] possible ignition problem

The funny small hose molded into the side of the intake manifold  
inlet hose
feeds the idle stabilization valve.  They get gunked up with excess  
turbo oil
and can usually be restored to operation by removing, cleaning, and  
reinstalling.
It has an electrical connector so make sure the contacts are clean  
and providing
a good connection.  Some contact cleaner is recommended--Caig De-Oxit  
from
Radio Shack or Stabilant 22 maybe.

The high boost problem is something else.  Do you have any stored  
DTC's  or
see the MIL on during misfire ?   Pull codes and remove and inspect  
plugs and
boots.  Then visit:

Of course.   That's without reading the rest.

When is it you don't use the A/C in FL ?
