Symptom	Possible Sources	Action
Loss of power/performance	Clogged Air Cleaner (ACL) element Loose connections or damage to air intake hoses and tubes Malfunctioning fuel system Poor fuel quality Engine wear (piston rings, valve guides) Turbocharger turbine or compressor wheel damage Damaged exhaust or exhaust leaks at turbocharger housing Malfunctioning turbocharger bypass valve Obstructed wastegate actuator linkage Damaged wastegate actuator linkage Wastegate actuator operation PCM - Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)	INSTALL a new Air Cleaner (ACL) element. TEST the system for normal operation. TIGHTEN the hose clamps. INSPECT for damage and REPAIR as necessary. DRAIN and FILL with fresh fuel. REPAIR as required. INSPECT the turbocharger. REFER to the CHECK FOR FREE ROTATION - Off Vehicle . INSPECT for leaks. Leaks can usually be detected audibly or visually, by a discoloration caused by escaping hot exhaust gases. REPAIR as required. INSPECT the turbocharger wastegate linkage for obstructions. REPAIR as required. INSPECT the turbocharger wastegate linkage for damage. INSTALL a new turbocharger as necessary. REFER to: Electronic Engine Controls ( ELECTRONIC ENGINE CONTROLS . MIL Code List.
