It's in 'safe mode'. Fault 66 is a nightmare! Usually caused by the sensors not talking to each other properly or 'disagreeing' with each other. Check all the sensors are pluged in & have good connections. A dirty connection can cause this code to appear. Disconnect the battery & touch the + & - leads together to discharge the system & reset the computer & fault codes

Code 66 is usually caused by the secondary "dump" valve having a hole in the diaphram. The system relies on vacuum to work. Under boost of course there isnt any. The car has a resovuior in the l/f guard. if the valve has a hole, vacuum bleeds off under prolonged boost, and it all falls over ""code66"" means something went wrong, but I dont know why! The ecu can only check electronic components. not vacuum/mecanical ones. pull the hose off the valve and **** on it. if it does hold vacuum, check the one under the intercooler. #1 hose on the vacuum block on the r/f guard. It can do the same thing.
