[urq] Help me with my Boost pressure testing methodology

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Symptoms are (with no load), once the duty cycle is set and the checks on
it's operation are OK, actual running under load is problematic if not
impossible, though occasionally boost of 13/14 psi can be attained.  If the
car stalls, I cannot restart without  tweaking the mixture a couple of turns
clockwise :-(   I ran a check on the cat temp and at 2000 rpm after warmed
up got surface reading of  450 -475 degrees F at the front and the back of
cat.  When the car dies I will either get what sounds like an intake
backfire or nothing -- and I mean nothing, like someone turned off a switch.
The fuel pump is wired to run with the ignition on.  Fuel system pressures
check out (90 and 55 PSI).
