With the BOV's vacuum signal blocked, IDLE% still goes down to 15%, but *very* slowly With the BOV hooked up, it drops to 15% quite quickly. It's sucking air through its filter when idling. Is this by design ?
I found that the rubber pipe in which the temperature sender is wired is also leaking a bit. I'll have to find a better way of situating those wires. -----Original Message----- From: Ray Ayala [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 27 September 2008 20:08 To: Frank Smyth Cc: Miatapower Subject: Re: Obiwan not idling properly It should not allow air into the vacuum supply hose as that will contribute to the idle problem. Does the IDLE% rise when the vacuum supply hose is disconnected and plugged? If so the BOV piston (or sleeve) may be worn out. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Frank Smyth" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, September 27, 2008 11:42 AM Subject: RE: Obiwan not idling properly > Fitted new injector parts and the idle is now down from 1100rpm to 950rpm, > IDLE% still drops to 15%. > > The BOV (FM aluminium version) hisses like mad when the car is idling - > should this be letting air in at idle ?
