You can leave your code reader plugged in while driving. I use the Torque Pro app and a ODB2 blue tooth thingy that connects to a smart phone. You can monitor a ton of sensors while driving. You can check for codes an the fly and clear them on the fly.

Thank you so much for the response. My tester is the basic kind. So I guess I gotta get one of these high tech gimmicks. Lol

I have the Torque Pro app installed on an older Android phone. Got it many years ago (around 2018). The ODB2 BT thing is one that they said was compatible with it.. I think it's called a "BAFX". NOTE: It is/was only compatible with ANDROID phones, so if you only have an iPhone, SOL...

Anyway, I really like it and can run the same thing in my 2014 Ford Escape with the 2.0 Eco and the 2013 F150.. No idea if it works with any newer models??

Good luck! Mitch

I have a 2013 F-150 Limited Edition truck.

I'm having this issue, 2013 EB. Replaced the BOV already, and did a visual inspection of all the hoses, charge pipes, etc, which seem fine from what I can tell. This seems to be a problem once the truck is heat soaked... it'll drive just fine for 30 mins or so, then go into limp mode, pop the code, and drive like complete garbage requiring a heavy foot to get moving.

Anyone have any other suggestions before it goes into the shop? I watched that video of the different things to check, the only thing I cant test are the wastegates but I suppose I could get a positive pressure pump to try that too, just didn't have one on hand.

Did you ever get this solved? Mine does the same thing still after replacing the bov.

Was passing on the highway and lost power. The check engine came on and truck was much lower on power, felt more like a 3.5 NA.

put the code reader to it and had the P0299 code. Checked all the tubing and was all secure but happened to have a spare boost control valve in my truck (lol long story)

bolts were a pain but probably took 30 mins. Was super careful and felt like I was really close to breaking them putting it back in.

Very large tare that was probably 1/5 the way around. Cleared the code and test fire it didn’t come back. See tomorrow but pretty sure that was it.

Question…. Could a tear in the green gasket cause this to be the source of my code? I pulled my BOV off and don’t see a tear in the orange diaphragm but do see that the green seal looks like it is torn.

Yes it could, replace it and it probably won’t come back.
