Default ROUGH IDLE???????

well if you have seen any previous posts of mine>
i took off my intake and screwed with my bsc, well i put everything back together perfectly.

now my car has an extremely rough idle? and doesnt boost very well.

so you have to reset ecu after you diconnect the MAF? could it be that?

or do i have a rip or something in the intake system?

did you connect everything back up right. What exactly did you do with the bcs. Did you remove it? If so did you plug the hole on the intake?

no i didn't remove it.

i took the pill out of the bottom hose of the bcs.

the top hole was already plugged up with a screw by someone else.
after this happend i just put the pill back into the bcs, like a day later.

there has to be a rip or tear in the rubber of the intake somewhere, but i cant find it at all. should i also be checking the turbo. and intercooler hoses??? but i doubt its that, i didn't screw with that.

and like i said, the problem didn't start until i screwed with it.

well guys, went to start car this morning, and it wouldn't start.
it cranked for a sec. then went for a sec then died. and would not start again. it was extremely rough, and i think i heard knocking.

what the hell is going on, to much fuel to the car???

there must be a leak someone. Check to make sure that all the couplings and the clamps are on tight. I would have just removed the BCS. Why not right, its a free mod. But just double check everything i guess. Make sure the pill is still on the bcs too

almost positive i found it. wont be sure though until i go to auto parts store.

the hose going from intake to the valve cover.... was torn. right at the base of intake, i didn't even notice it until i double checked it was on correctly.

well that wasn't it!!!

the car will start. but runs like crap and you can hear lifter tick really bad. sounds like a diesel engine.

than it shuts off after like 3 sec. no matter how much gas it has.

could it be a sensor??? all of my fuses are good!!! i left the neg battery unplugged for like 20min and still no reset??? i know because the radio code didn't come on.
