P0642 code comes up when coasting

Hi everyone, new to the place. I recently bought a 95 ssei and I love it. Needs some tlc but its nice. So I have my ses light come on and the car drives great BUT I am only getting about 2# of boost. I bought it off my friend and before the light came on it was hitting around 7#. Anyway, the code is p0642 which is quad module 1. Im 90% sure its the tcc circuit because the code only comes on when coasting. I replaced all four solenoids and still no luck. I have alldata and on demand and I did all the tests I could without the tech 2. Any ideas what I can be? Thanks!

Is that similar behavior to a bad egr?

As far as I understand, EGR has nothing to do with it

try another PCM. 94 & 95 are notorious for pcm's going bad.

That's what my suspension is. If I had one handy I'd do it but seems like a expensive test. Im going to purchase a tech 2 at some point so if I dont find the problem by the problem by then hopefully ill figure it out
