fresh fmic install, all new piping and bov. now overheating when idles. and stalls

[gameover95]

Hey guys, just had a new front mount intercooler with new piping and bov installed today. Seemed to be running good, the rpm gauge was moving up and down a little but my car has always done that. Anyways a hour or so later I parked and let my car idle and it started overheating, noticed the coolant bubbling but the fan wasn't even coming on.. not really sure what's going on. Especially when I boost, and let off and go into neutral, my rpm gauge will drop unless I give it some gas and it will stall.. starts right back up but I know this isn't normal.. don't really know what's going on with it.. can't really explain it to well..but its like nothings there to prevent it from stalling.. when it drops it die

Any ideas ?s

Thanks for the list! For me and the OP! haha

My ECU is actually at ECMtuning right now...
I am planning on replacing all small air lines soon (Larson kit from RRE)
And I am getting a new BOV and intercooler piping

So hopefully one of those will fix the issue for me... OP should do the same i guess...

No problem Those could help, if it's a really bad leak. But that would be simple, and troubleshooting on these cars rarely is simple . I would highly recommend a boost leak test after everything is installed, just to make sure everything is sealed up nice and tight. Best of luck!

I was hoping after we replaced all the piping and intercooler it wouldn't have that problem, it did that before thats why I bought the new set up..we double checked everything..it was all tight. We noticed the throttle cable was loose so we tightened it up.. not sure if it had anything to do with it or not

any other suggestions? I just want to fix this thing

Thanks man



I took the car out a little while ago, didn't over heat that time.. maybe because I was boosting the hell out of it right after we did the new set up..but still doing the stalling issue if I get on it and let off the RPM gauge drops unless I give it gas

I had a simlar issue a while back. You took too much slack out of your throttle cable - put some back & see if that resolves your idle issue.

I remember my buddy messing with the throttle cable, he had tightened it though because it looked loose
