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?

Thanks guys!

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.

      Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
