Blow Off Valve

It's only really the aftermarket atmospheric venting bov's that can cause stalling because people just throw them on tuneuned cars. The computer see's X amount of air and fuels up accordingly. If you then went some of that air to atmosphere the engine runs rich when you lift off the accelerator pedal which can cause the engine to stall if the revs are low enough.

If you still have the stock bov and it's still plumbed back, I would be looking for something like a vaccum leak as the cause of the stalling. Does your speedo work?

Oh and don't worry about the 3L bottom end thing.. personal problem/joke :P

I really think your stalling is related to the speedo not working.

But as for checking for vaccum leaks, have a listen to try narrow it down then a can of carby cleaner helps. Spray it on the suspect area and if you hear the revs pick up slightly then you found your leak.

Go stock...or start liking man sex, to match your Blitz BOV.

Atmospheric BOVs can cause stalling, but from what Ive seen, they only do it intermittently (sp?), not every single time ?

Try and plumb it back, or get a hold of a stockie + piping, speedo is the next in line.
