check your vaccuum. i had the same problem a few weeks ago with my 95. i changed the solenoid on the valve cover, no luck there. so i figured i'd check the vaccum with a gauge before i wasted anymore moneys. a hundred and change later, my truck ran well.

I have a similar problem, low vacuum to the wastegate actuator. The FAQ section has some good tips on checking the vacuum system.

A bad turbo would make noise or have play in the compresor wheel.
