All vac hoses have been checked and checked again. The ignitor was not removed or disconnected for the spark plugs. The little black wire is bolted in the same place it has always been. I did just give it a quick run over with some sand paper to clean it up though

When you say your car wouldnt run well with the new HKS BOV first installed, Can you describe it?

Would it rev free or struggle to build rpm?

Did it feel like a missfire or engine cutting out completely, if so at wat rpm?

Edited by just_matt

Wouldn't idle without me playing with the throttle, And would missfire when the engine was labored. Building any boost would cause more lag.

Never went above 4k but it would do all that at any and all revs. Would only really drive smooth with no Boost what so ever.

Any luck yet Mate?

May need to check the fuel rail pressure?

Try disconnection fuel pressure reg, blocking hose so there is no vac leak into manifold, and crank it. I think this will give you full fuel pressure...

Or also try tuning the key on (wait 5sec) then off, then back on about 5-8times before you crank it (fuel pump might be getting lazy, but if its failed this wont help).

You may need to check your plugs if your have been turning it over alot with out it firing.

When you looked at the plug last did they look 'wet' from unburnt fuel?

An Injector 'Noid light' will tell you if injectors are being fired.

No luck yet, Did give it another try this morning and noticed that I couldn't hear the fuel pump doing its little start up noise before cranking. So some time today all the plugs will comes back out to see if they have had fuel hit them and I'll go from there.

try starting the car with the throttle all the way down. if it starts but then stalls after you take the throttle off, then try cleaning the AAC valve, i had trouble with it once before, it was screwed. :S

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.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
