ok so sometimes ill be driving and i guess if my rpm is above like 2-3000 in gear when i shift to nuetral the rpm's drop fast and the car shuts off, it fires right back up but its annoying..
also i think related to this is that sometimes in nuetral if i rev it in my driveway or something it iwll rev up, dip below 800 rpms then come back up to idle art suggested vacuum leak and i believed him but i cant find one now that i have fixed my leaky BOV, does anyone know what else this might be? also my motor seems to shake sometimes at idle, my motor mounts are new so the only possibility is that they are loose, another sign that points to loose motor mounts is sometimes when i shift from first to second i can hear something clink like faintly, kind of like something on the motor hitting the firewall or somethign because the motor is moving. anyone have an idea for these things? i changed my spark plugs today, NGK BKR7E's gapped at .28 like art told me, the spark plugs in the motor were really black on the ends, does this mean they were fouled? |

QUOTE(brianforster @ May 28, 2006 - 7:41 PM) [snapback]438767[/snapback] art does your hks ssqv recirc? and are you sure yours wont do this? mine only does it if im like, pressing the throttle and speeding up and then all of the sudden need to stop , so i shift into nuetral and my bov blows off and then it dies. maybe you are just a better driver than us? lol you have a boost leak or the bov is the problem...either way its a leak. im telling you...my car NEVER does this, but it used to when i had a major leak in my ic piping. my bov is vented out ...not recirculated. i just got done making a boost leak tester for my car. 1 can of tuna fish, and one valve stem. started inflating the system and couldnt get more then 2psi on my boost gauge. i shut the air comp off and i could hear a loud hiss..... took me a while to find it, but it turns out one of my power steering hoses has a crack in it and is leaking!!! boost leak testers rock!!! ( and so does the opima battery thats been powering the air compressor for a good 30min and it still hasnt run out of juice!)
