Random stalling of the engine??

XtreeX · 11-15-2006, 03:38 AM

So should stock 7mgte be able to reach 60 MPH in 2nd gear without redlining it? Anyone?

And this all really started aafter I installed the Bosch BOV mod... how can I tell if the Bosch BOV is really working properly or not?

actually, i dont think u should even try

i know this might sound newbish
but manual says 2nd gear should only be at speeds 40-45 mph
(thats the best i can remember)

but either ways check ur plugs
my bet is, its number 6 plug

I just put the stock Bypass valve back on and the car ran 100%.

And in terms of the fastest 0-60 times dont you have to stay in 2nd gear til around 5000-5500 rpms? Regardless of what manual says...?

I have the Bosch 103 BOV and this has to be the problem with the stalling... Is there anyway to check to make sure it works? Any tricks?

Yes, Bosch sucks, throw it out or sell it to some kid with a Honda. Get yourself a real BOV. Like an HKS or a GReddy. Personally, I love the sound of a Tial BOV.

Yea I dunno it just seemed like a nice little inexpensive mod to do. Regardless if it sucks or not, it must be broken to be making my engine stall right? This way I can get my money back... If its broken versus sucking.

Well, Bosch is usually meant to be recirculated. When you say stall, does the cars engine completely shut off, or the power just dies out?

No the engine actually cuts off. The power steering goes and everything. I literally have to restart the car. The power (radio, headlights, etc.) stays on. It's odd. Either way, I bought it off ebay and I'm relatively new to the whole car scene and it seemed like a nice, budget mod to start out with. The only other thing I've done myself is shimming the wastegate and other external bolt-ons.

I'm hoping the problem is the Bosch though, I just had $1400 invested into this thing and that included headgasket, water pump, timing belt, and so on... So another problem would be a problem lol
