hey there gentlemen... so here is the deal i have scoured the forums and i have found a couple of posts that come close to my problem but not my problem exactly. so here it is.

1. when i start my eclipse it wont even hold and idle it dies completely. i have to hold the gas pedal for it to continue to run.

2. when i do hold the gas pedal down at about 2.2k rpms it starts to bog out and sound like its gonna stall but it keeps building rpms. when it hits 3.4k rpms it starts to get better but not fully. i can still hear the turbo spooling and giving boost. i know it still gives boost ### i had to drive it from my old house to my new house. (boost at 15 mph you can feel LOL)

3. ok and last but not least when i have my foot on the pedal to keep it running it shoots out black smoke and i can smell gas in the interior of the car. (its messing with my girly car scent :(. )

hope some one can help me get my little dsm on the road again. i need to smoke some hondas soon.

oh if it helps its a 96 gst. it has a t16 turbo, greddy bov, greddy gauges k and n cold air intake bigger headers (dont know what size) and 3'' piping from the headers back. please help me :(
 
Well an aftermarket BOV was mentioned in her first post so I'm questioning its been recirculated.
 
So if its for this thread why did you say something about thread jacking? Lol. I thought you was asking for yourself.

Lol, I have no clue. Was just trying to be nice.

It was never confirmed if the BOV is recirculated. From what I'm reading a massive vacuum leak could cause such issues.

Could you PUHLEAZ confirm the status of the BOV recirculation? At least do that before you go ripping through all of the wiring.
