If it is a GLT model there is indeed a Low Pressure Turbo under the hood...I got the same code, check your vacuum lines out.

I saw your reply to the email where I'd asked you to check out your ECU numbers...but before we dive into that, as a poster above said, many people are surprised to find out that their GLT's (97-on) are actually a light pressure turbo engine.

Do you have these pipes/a GLT badge on the trunk?
