My car is effed, need help

[MrChallenger360]

alright so long story short, i bought a project 1995 GS-T from a shady guy. Had to put a new tranny in and finally starter her up. Now she's surging at idol from about 1500 to 2000. I'm thinking it has something to do with the air flow sensor. I notice that my boost gauge is reading 12-15 on the vacuum side (changes with RPM) and i notice that the aftermarket BOV that came with it is open (also closes down with RPM). When it does get to or below 1000 it runs like crap. I've picked up the factory service manuals and I've been going through and checking things but i don't seem to be getting anywhere. any advise would be wonderful. thanks!

ps. also if anyone knows how to adjust the shifter cables please let me know.

Its the easy way out of keeping the 1g of holding more boost. Its crushes the spring and doesn't let the spring expand at higher boost and let off air. Search dodge garage mod. Its the correct way of making the 1g hold up 30 psi or even more. Crushing is the same way Greddy's old Type S had an adjustment screw on top to tighten or loosen the spring. The problem with that, is you can cause bov flutter, or even compressor surge.

so since i'm still running the stock wimpy t25 would the crushed not work? there's a non on ebay for 50 or a crushed for .99

the wheels came with enkei center caps. i'm not sure about the model but they kinda look like RS05.

Huh???^^

 

[MrChallenger360]

sweet car though. bummer he got rid of the sexy factory wing.

yeah but the one that he put on isn't bad:

 

[MrChallenger360]

sorry, i'm replying to stuff said at the beginning.

Nice! You have a Tial BOV, with that you can trade that for any other BOV if its a real genuine one. As for the idle, do you have a CEL? Go check your throttle cable to see if it's adjusted and check to see if the MAF connector is connected! haha.

Looks like someone's parting out a 1G in Goldbar. Should still be there. Also if you still have problems after the BOV is fixed and need to borrow a 2g MAF I have 2 in my garage.

CEL? i don't know what that is but i prob don't

Am I seeing something ... or is BOV dump tube unplugged? Your turbo is sucking in unmetered air. Your BOV is loosing metered air. Your ECU is crying in confusion.

CEL = Check Engine Light.

 

[skyrone]

it looks like the recirc hole in the intake is just open.... yikes. at least make sure that is capped
and btw cel is check engine light, you will get used to alot of acronyms on this site.

 

[MrChallenger360]

yeah the recirc valve is capped. it's painted black on the sides and orange on the top (kause i haven't gotten around to repainting it. No it is not getting any extra air through there.

as for the cel it's not on and i plugged in a OBDII reader and didn't get any codes. i'm pretty sure if i put on a recirc valve she'll quiet down. hopefully this weekend!
