So I installed a new air intake on my car. When I installed it I could not reattach the BOV return hose. Nowwhen I run my ride my idle is erratic. It fluctuates from 200 - 1000. When I drive, and I drop the car in neutral the idle drops down to 0 and sometimes even stalls the car.

What's the deal?

Just FYI, I recently fixed my MBC hose that was tapped to my wastegate actuator and the MBC is closed. Though i don't think it's working.

 

did you make sure you have all the vaccume hoses connected? and you didnt break or damage any sensors did you?

 

Why could you not connect the bov return hose? More than likely that is your problem.

 

That IS your problem.

 

When I bought the car it was initially vented to atmosphere. I picked up a 1g BOV but I made my own hose to connect it. The new intake won't fit the hose so I left it off thinking I could get away with it.

I'll hook it up again. I didnt think it would be that much of a problem coz I had it disconnected before. Thanks all.

 

you should never vent to atmosphere on these cars, EVER.

 

^^agreed, you're cars not gonna run right at all if you're not recircin' ur bov

 

indeed....big no-no

 

Yea, weird thing is, I reattached the return tube (sorta) and now my car revs too high and won't go past 2500 rpm. It's like I am getting no power out of my car at all. I saw that my MBC hose tapped to my wastgegate separated (previous owner had two tube tied together) so I connected them again, but I am still have the same high rev, no power issue.

WTF?!?!?! :]

 

how did you "sorta" re-attach it?
