Boost @ idle engine cut out and wouldn't start again?

Had an interesting afternoon today with my first brake down in the supra in 5years.

First off when I started the car the boost controller solenoid clicks as it would normally to tell me its working fine, when I pulled off the solenoid clicked again.. though that was strange? I carried on driving but every time I pressed the accelerator it would click click click! :blink:

Then I noticed the controller was reading 0 at idle, even though it was driving fine I immediately pulled over to see if any vac pipes had come off. Lifted the Bonnet and the usual amount of heat considering the weather and a smell of fuel hit me then engine cuts out??

After having a quick check of the wg and solenoid vac hoses I tried to start the car again but it wouldn't fire? Just cranked over a few times, then the battery died on me, I already know I have an issue with the starter motor so intend to overhaul that this weekend. Any way after a good half hour trying to jump start it finally fired into life but still shows 0 at idle and now idles very low but I did reset the ecu if that makes any difference?

So chaps where do I begin? Gauge used to read -20 and has never cut out on me!

To make boost a idle , your timing has to be out of wack, and you smell fuel and now it dont start, first thing that jumps out at me is your timing star has spun its not uncommon alot of people get them welded up

Cheers pal I found something quite worrying last night while overhauling my starter motor. my fuel damper bypass pipe was wet so I nipped it up then started the car, it started hunting so I checked the pipe again while it was running to find half way down the pipe it was spraying fuel out! :blink:

As for the boost @ idle it turns out its most probably my solenoid having a wobbler?? Put another gauge on T'd into the same vac hose and it's reading the normal -20
