Default crack in header.

Could the small crack in my header be why i am running rich and stalling when i slow down. My bov is connected to my intake not atmosphere. When i put my hand over the small crack i can feel air coming up through.

Could this be a cause of the boost leak?

It could be, I have a 1g non turbo w/ a crack in the exhaust manifold and would stall out when I came to stops, also threw a cel for the o2 sensor.

well it depends on how big the crack is prolly, if it's a tiny one that doesn't seem to go through all the way you should be good. If you can feel the air like dsm1990gsx then I'd say it's time for new headers,lol
and did your car throw any cel's?

There are no headers on a 1gen eclipse.


Replace the manifold and that will fix your problem.
