Well is it?

 

People on car forums love having smart ass comments back because they have the time to sit at their comp to think of them. Would you ever do this in person? I don't think so. Don't do it on car forums.

 

I really don't think Mitsucolt is being a smart ass. He just asked a simple question. Are you venting?

 

Just a few things off the top of my head:

Idle set too low
Boost leak
Venting?

Why are you cruising in neutral? Leave the car in gear till you come to a stop.

 

+1
Did you check for other leaks and/ or try adjusting idle/timing? How do your plugs look? And hose clamps to nothing hanging out in the middle of the hose.

 

Oh, sorry I was mistaken. I thought he was talking about something else. I am not too sure what that is. I am in the process of looking it up. I did not hookup the BOV. Previous owner did. Theres a vacuum line hooked up to intake manifold and one that runs to the boost controller. My brothers stock talon is different.

 

Post a picture of your engine bay.

 

Would this also happen if you disconnected the dump tube from the stock BOV?

 

That is what venting the bov means.. And yes it could happen.

 

damn

 

My car dies as well if I put it into neutral after ripping on it.
I'm almost certain that my problem is caused by disconnecting the speed sensor input to the ecu(prevents idle up). Its a bandaid fix for a much more annoying erratic idle problem.
For now, I just leave it in gear after ripping on it.

 

Rip it,rip it good.da da da da don.I still don't understand why people vent when they are not supposed to.

 

It sounds better? They want everyone to hear the loud WHOOOSH so they know its teh boosted!? :dunno: Some people are idiots. I have a GM Maf post BOV so it doesn't matter for me. I don't have a tube to recirculate on my intake pipe otherwise I would probably recirc.

 

Lol fail.

 

If you told me exactly what your post reads in person, you would absolutely get that as a reply. Set your bov up like your brothers until you do some more research about these cars. The fact that u know what a boost controller is, but not venting sounds like trouble to me.

...I am not being a smart ass

 

^ How is that fail? I would bet the OP's problem is a vented BOV.

 

Because he was saying he would recirc is blowthrough setup lol.

 

Sounds most likely to be a BOV problem. But after you have ruled that out. I have also experienced this problem with my lightweight flywheel. (<<not sure what your clutch/flywheel set-up is, if its stock disregard this>>) The lower mass and spinning enertia of the flywheel the rpms drop much quicker and the ECU is not always quick enough to catch the idle. This problem was not consistant with me though. Happened to me a couple times in the burnout box at the track.

 

Well that is why I said people vent if they are not supposed to. If you have blow through set up. Then sure vent away. He said if it wasn't for his GM,he would wouldn't vent.=p Doesn't matter anyways,Op needs to hook his car up right.Speaking of which op,any updates?

 

Heres my setup. The BOV has a vacuum line going to the intake.

 

Appears to be recirculated to me. Maybe get that in the correct postion though.

What kind of clutch/flywheel do you have?

 

Sounds like a typical dsm problem to me, isn't that how they are suppose to run? LOL, J/K

I would check for boost leaks and make sure your idle is set properly and make sure that your idle switch is getting activated, it on the top back side of the throttle where the cable connects, get a picture of that also.

Did you put the 2g maf on or did someone else? I would recheck the wiring for that also to make sure it isn't hacked and/or corroded.

 

Just to clear things up a little. This is my old car. I owned it for 7 years and this is a new problem that just started after I sold it about 6 weeks ago.

BOV is recirculated as in pics (unless he changed it)
2g Maf wiring is correct and was working perfect. It wasn't a hack job.
Base Timing is or was set to 5* (have you change it?)
Idle was properly adjusted to 800rpms
There was only one minor boost leak at the tb shaft seal when I sold it. Would definatly do a boost leak test now though.

For starters I'd test the isc on the back of the tb and do a boost leak test.

What do your fuel trims look like?

Have you had the recirc hose off the bov for anything? Check and see if its crimped at all.

 

The timing wasn't changed. Ill do a boost leak test as soon as possible. I thought if the isc is bad it will idle surge or idle high? My bro has one he rebuilt so I could throw that on and see if it helps.

The fuel trims are a lil crazy. They are changing alot lately. High is about 92. Mid is about 94. Low changes everyday.

A boost leak test is a lot easier to do than swapping out isc's. I'd try that first. might be a vacuum leak.
