Car Keeps Dieing!

[cosmokram3r]

Hey guys.. Something is fcked with my car.. It was completely perfect till last nite when i booted it to 150km.. Since then whenever i go into neutral the car just shuts off.. The only way i can avoid is when changing gears rev it or change gears really fast and let go without holding the clutch in at all.. coz as soon as i push the clutch in the rev's just go all the way down and the car switches off.. Its pretty dangerous since i happend when i was going 50 down a small hill i usually go in neutral down a hill and then just brake.. but then the car switched off and u know how the steering wheel pretty much locks up when that happens.. So now whenever i stop i have to keep revving so the car doesnt die!

Anyone know wtf happend and what it could be?

Thanks

Does the car drive as well as usual apart from not finding idle? Or does it run like shit now?

Feels okay to drive when i normally drive (until i push the clutch in then it all goes to shit)

I gave it a bit after it started not finding idle and it boosted fine and felt fine.. just the idling issue is making the car like shit i think..

reset stock ecu (search to find out how to do it)

if that doesnt clear it go see a mechanic

ensure you are using an atmo bov - check you have the std one setup

sounds like a FMIC pipe has come off, but if that was the case it wouldnt drive normally, ud notice a loss in power...

My BOV is blocked and my AFM is moved into my cooler piping and i have a dose pipe attached to the turbo.. But this never caused me problems before its only when i booted it to 150km/h last night..

Attached a few pics of the drive bay

Ahhh fixed it.. Reset the ECU didnt do anything.. turns out the cap blew off the BOV thingy when i booted it.. Went down to the mechanics and he just chucked a new rubber on it with a bolt.. Easy 2 min fix for free

lesson is dont boot it to 150km/hr on the road... only track...
