No boost w/o kickdown...



Friends, I'm still working my way through this - I have a new 
idle/WOT switch installed and adjusted as the Bentley specifies on 
the wife's 1990 200, (automatic) but it's still running weak.  It's 
usually won't provide any boost over 1.0 bar unless I kick it down 
into a lower gear.  Then the boost comes on with the 
kickdown...but all I need is the boost.  Dunno what the deal is.

I'm currently studying SJM's very helpful reference page but would 
be interested in any helpful comments.  I will try pulling codes 
again, but the last time I tried to do so I couldn't produce any 
codes at all (and this after pulling the dash and installing a lamp 
just for that purpose...) leaving me high and dry.   Rats.

TIA for any help.
