Hey so I just got done doing the dump tube cut mod and the bcs mod. However a few days later now my car is having trouble staying at a constant rpm.... When im pass 3k and throw in the clutch my rpm goes wayy down and almost kills. It feels like the type of stalling you almost get when you vent your bov. Im almost positive I jb welded the dump tube back in really good with no leak what so ever. I will double check it, but just in case its in fine .my car for a while has had trouble keeping a decent rpm especially on start up when its cold. This minor stalling never bother me untill yesterday when i was turning hard on an off ramp going about 60 and went to throw in the clutch. The car stalled leaving my steering about as good as well junk. I almost flew off the road OMG . Minor problems dont bother me but when stuff like this can happen its time to get my hands dirty and fix this problem. If its not a problem with a bad sealed dump tube what else could it be.. Thanks to whoever puts in their 2 cents to try to solve this problem. :thumb:
 
That doesn't sound like a problem that would be caused by a poorly sealed exhaust. Exhaust leaks won't cause the car to stall like you are describing. I had my downpipe poorly bolted to my o2 housing for weeks and it ran fine, just loud and annoying. Can you feel any leaks while the car is running?? Let it idle and move your hand around where you jb welded, just be careful not to burn yourself. Your problem almost sounds like a bad isc motor, you should do the vfaq to see if it's in working condition. Good luck. http://dmtalon.v8eaters.com/ISC.html
 
i am having the same problem, only for me it was instant, i checked for leaks and cant find any, the tube is sealed, but My car will stall if i rev it past 3k and push in the clutch, sometis it recovers sometimes it doesnt.
 
just thought id update you , a guy replied to my post saying he had the same problem and he replaced his cheeso plastic BOV and it fixed it, my new UICP and BOV come tommorrow and Ill let you know if it solves it for me
 
doh i checked the shipping wrong it wont be here until monday, but ill still let ya know as soon as its on there, so check back around...6-7pm eastern monday night :)

Ok i couldnt wait till monday night with my car stalling so tonight i took a 6" long piece of 1" PVC and some sealant and shoved that bi*** down in the stock intake, stalling is gone woohoo haha. On monday when my new BOV comes ill rip it back out and see what happens. Ever since i cut off the dump tube i hear a strange knock/tick after 3500rpm :(
