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?

it has nothing to do with a boost leak, its that your AFM already recorded that air and now its being vented.
soooo the AFM is gunna say hey ECU i have more air than i really have but i dont know that so im gunna send a bunch of fuel to match that air. OH SNAP that air isnt there so im gunna run pig rich and bog you out potentally stalling you. word.



yes in a way your right... but with the hks bov, you shouldnt have this problem. because of its design, it can close fast enough not to cause you any issues like that, while still being vented. so there must be a leak somwhere in his setup or the knock off ssqv isint working right.
