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.

    • 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.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
