8561, BOV problems...
Posted by NHH223, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Alright, after getting beaten senseless on my introductory post, I put a stock 2G BOV on my car which I got for free. Well, the problems I faced with my vented Apex'i... stalling, rough/dying idle, and bad start-ups... has now carried it's way over with my stock 2G bov. YES, I am re-cirrculating and it sounds like a drop of water hitting a hot frying pan everytime I shift, but besides that, how do I get my car NOT to die, stall, and what not? I'm pretty much stock now... Let me know guys, thanks.

reset ECU by disconnecting (-) terminal and restart with Factory BOV in place. Car may drive funny for the first 20-30 minutes. Then report back to us. Hell, you may have enev fouled out your upstream O2.

It is possible that the ridiculously rich condition caused by the vented BOV fouled spark plugs and o2 sensors, which has already been mentioned.

Also check for vacuum leaks and make sure the BOV is properly installed and all of the lines are going to the correct locations.

Vacuum lines are going to correct locations. I will check plugs and o2 sensors tomorrow. Putting in a brand new cat conv for LUCK to pass my emissions test! Thanks, Nick

yup, Jeffs most likely correct. Change your plugs.

You didn't get beaten on your posts. Just informed of the correct way to run the car. You won't regret it when your car is driveable.
