My passenger sweat occupancy sensor went bad about a month after I got my car and I drove it that way for about 3 months. In mid February I finally found some ice free pavement and opened up the throttle and the car was only making 5#'s of boost and not pulling hard. Still runs smooth as glass with no misfires though. Question #1: would driving the car for months with the airbag/ occupancy sensor failure warning put the car in some kind of protection or low power mode?

I replaced the occupancy sensor while the car was down due to a failed idler pulley and some other mods, but I can't seem to clear the red "SRS - retun to workshop" warning. Before replacing the sensor the code was "current" according to my STAR DAS. Now the code is "stored" when I scan the car. I have tried to delete the code with my STAR but it tells me it is unable to because "pre-test conditions not met". Question #2: any idea how to clear this so the red SRS return to workshop and SRS dash light will go away?

To diagnose the low boost I first looked for vacuum leaks and saw none, so I used a smoke machine to double check and confirmed that I have no vacuum leaks. Would like to clear the SRS warning and see if that is the issue, but if not the obvious next question is any ideas on the next step to find why I'm not making boost or power?

Srs would not cause your car to lose power ... did you find any faults in the dme ?? If no faults where found then it might be your maf sensor . Common problem in those cars

U should be able to erase that fault with no problem using star . If its stored then it should be cleared quite simply
