Place Yer Bets...threw a CEL!!

I was SB on HWY 65 merging onto I-80 WB.
Down shifting into 5th, car jerked, like fuel pump stopped for a millisecond, CEL came on...along with a flashing CRUISE light.

So, before I pull the code tonight, what's your guess?

Classic overboost / boost creep. Are you running a catless TBE?

If so, I would guess: P0244: Wastegate control solenoid valve malfunction (high input)

The colder weather doesn't help...

While you would get a CEL, the cruise light would not flash - that is only for more *dangerous* problems. Same goes for the 0420.

Misfire. I would be surprised if it was boost creep though, Paul's car is bone stock AFAIK.

You can't wager due to insider information.
