Ever since i got a GFB Hybrid BOV installed with a pod it stalls... very frustrating as it also does it on the freeway.

I have plumbed back the GFB (has full plumback feature) but the car still stalls... sometimes you even try to rev it and it just wont go past 3 000rpm... very annoying and can feel backfires (this was on full atmo setting).

I will take off the GFB BOV tomor and fit my stock bov on... I hope this will fix it up... if not then perhaps the pod can also cause the car to stall??? its unshielded... so may need to fit the stock air box on.

Can anyone shine some light on this?

weird.

I got HKs SSQ bov just installed yesterday.

no stalling or idling funy,

Just make sure you block off the blumpback hose tite, no leak, and make sure the vacumm line to the BOV is tite and secure, and all adjustment on the BOV should be tite.

those factors caused idle funy for my BOV.

but all sweet after that all sorted.

they sometimes stall because when when they vent to the atmosphere there's air that goes past the afm but doesn't get to the engine. But you said that you switched it to plumback. So therefore it shouldn't be stalling, I'd be looking at a leak somewhere perhaps?

But yeah, good idea would be to put the stocker back on, and then see what happens. Then you can see if it's the BOV or the piping...e

ughmmm urs is auto yeah? hmm weird. ive got n aftermarket bov on mine ( blitz type s ) and pod and my cars never stalled before. are u sure whoever put it on put it on correctly?

Yep, auto. A pro put it on. Anyway I took the aftermarket BOV off today and put on the stock BOV and then drove around the block... still stalled... at low rpm, around 40 km/h. Then we discnnected the battery for 5 mins to reset the ECU... all good, then I fanged it past 7000 RPM and stalled shortly after... I then drove for a few hours and no problems what so ever... except when i got home just before, I set the turbo timer on 3 mins and the car stalled after 2 mins on turbo timer... really wierd!!

I dont know what to do, maybe its the pod also? Its unshielded! She never stalled before I put the BOV and pod on... whats a good way to tell if there is a leak... i think maybe a tune or ?

Ill see how the car will behave over the next few days... then if still stalling i may put the stock air filter on... or get the guys to check it out at the shop.

AFM = air flow meter

its near ur air filter,

its the 1 that have meshs, with a plug connected to,

try to pull out while the car is idling,

see if it does anything strange.

could be ur have a leak somewhere,

maybe a vacumm hose is not connected.

unshield pod wont contribute to car stalling~

Hummm.... I got a 34 GT-t Tiptronic, I also have a GFB Hybrid BOV, I have had it installed for about 15 months, it has been all good till now.

However recently I have also noticed my idle is going really low too, its stalled twice in the last 2 weeks, I am taking mine to nissan so they can connect it up to their computer to see if theres anything else wrong with the car. just as a precaution.

I checked all my hoses and couldent find nothing....

Let us know how u go if u do find the problem, likewise ill let u know wat Nissan say.

I have a GReddy Type-S atmo BOV on my auto.

My car used to stall a fair amount - everyone said it was the BOV but even when I plumbed it back it still still stalled.

Fast forward to getting a SAFC installed - no stalls now and I'm still running an atmo BOV.

Ok checked the coils and they are silver inside... no dirty stuff!! So obviously not the coils!

Gonna check fuel filter, afm and fuel pump today...

Also went for a drive yesterday doing 60-70 Km/h without boosting past 2.5 K and the car was fine...

Check your diagnostics first on your ECU. Usually if its an electronic fault then it will tell you. Do this first before you fiddle around with everything.

Usually it's the AFM, get it out and spray it with WD40 (those lubricant that u use to loosen stuck screws), spray at the middle part of the AFM which is like a little door hanging with two thin lines, and make sure you wipe the nets (exterior) clean. plug it in and test your car, if still stall try changing with your friend's AFM (must be same engine, you should know this right?) and test your car again, if it doesn't stall that means you must get a new one. If it's not the AFM, check your ECU (exchange with friend's and see). If it's not either of these, check your fuel pump

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
