Right so a few days ago I replaced my BOV, The car wouldn't run well and then just stopped completely. I have reverted back to a standard BOV AND replaced my fouled plugs. Everything is seated right but the car still wont start. It cranks over well but just wont start. It almost ran but soon gave up.

Any ideas?

New plugs are NGK PFR6A-11 (Laser Platinum Series)

Old ones were NGK PFR5A-11 (Cheapest base plug)

Was on the car for a day, It would drive but not very well at all. Wouldn't boost and wouldn't idle well at all. The plugs fouled with the new BOV but they needed to be replaced anyway.

The new BOV was a HKS SSQV so it vented to atmo, apparently this doesn't fly well with standard ECU's hense the standard one going back on.

Everything has been triple checked before going back together, battery is currently on charge while I have things switched 'on' to drain whats left from the system/ECU so it does a full re-set on itself.

I'll give it a few hours then fingers ****ing crossed it starts

As I tried to warn you in your original thread, the AFM measures the incoming air as it comes in. By venting the air to the atmosphere, less air came into the intake manifold than was reported and why it ran rich & crap.

Fault code reads 5 Slow flashes and 5 fast ones so as far as the ECU thinks everything is working fine.

I cant think of anything else that would be wrong, plugs are new, everything is connected, ECU says its all fine but the bastard still wont start. It cranks but nothing happens bar the battery slowly going flat

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
