Hey all i got bored today and PURELY out of boredom i decided to block of my BOV whilst doing this i went for a drive and heard it and then i got home, put it into neutral and released my foot off the brake and the revs where fluctuating from 600-900RPM, just wanting to know why?

because the ecu in the car expects the air to be plumbed back into the system, but now that air has dissapeared and the car is freaking out :)

You put an atmo bov in the car, car stalls. Nothing to worry about, just remove the block plate and leave it as is. Problem solved.

Ok i removed the block plate and the problem is still there come to think of it, it was there before i blocked it...

Is it becuase i just installed a pod filter or?

Because the cars revs are going up and down a couple of hundred RPM and when the car is idling it sounds a bit rough!

I just put a 3A pod in 2 days ago could the be the cause

Nah the o2 sensor would cause your fuel economy to be shocking, idle variance CAN happen but it's rare.

If the problem wasn't present before you put the pod on then its the pod filter.

The reason the idle will fluctuate could be that a) the pod isn't on properly b) you didn't put the afm plug back in tightly c) the afm could have picked some crud up and you may need to clean it. Take the pod off and get some brake cleaner into the afm to clean it. Make sure you clamp up the afm tightly and secure the pod so it doesn't move. Hopefully it's all good.

AAC Valve? When I first got my car the idle was hunting around a bit and sometimes stalled when pulling up to lights etc. Searched around here and someone suggested cleaning the AAC valve, after I cleaned it problem gone. I think theres a guide in the DIY section if you're not sure how to do it but could be worth a try.

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
