Won't stay running, getting to much fuel

[Dr DSM]

I just installed a new BOV yesterday and when i was getting onto the highway (hard accelerating) the car stopped accelerating and wouldn't rev passed 3k. Then died down on the side of the road, when i start the car it will fire and start up but smells of gas. If i give it gas upon start up it will rev to about 2.5k and just backfire a lot. Once i stop giving it gas it just dies down. idk if the new bov has anything to do with it but i need some help on where to start. Thanks

I'm a tad but confused, you say you smell gas but you have to give it gas upon start or it will die? I would run a BLT to make sure your not leaking.

Is it recirculated?

 

[Dr DSM]

The old BOV was recirculated. but this one is not

Ok, first things first, put your old BOV that you can recirculate. Do a BLT and fix all leaks. Remove your spark plugs and check their condition. By your mod list I'm assuming you still have stock injectors?

 

[Dr DSM]

550cc injectors, i put the old bov on and i am currently checking the plugs

Are you still using your SAFC? If you are, someone may have messed with your settings, I don't understand why just changing a BOV can just randomly cause you to run pig rich.

edit: you will run richer since your venting the air out into the atmosphere.

 

[Dr DSM]

plugs were all ok. i did find a boost leak and repaired it. but its still doing the same thing. ill check the safc now

 

[Abe'sGST]

Ok, keep us posted.

 

[Dr DSM]
