Question about my mopar bov.. please help - SRT Forums

Z24SRT9004 · 10-25-2005, 05:36 PM

Ok... After this long weekend of lots of rain and me doing highway driving I have noticed my bov is going off more than usual.. For example.. driving slow in 2nd gear or even 3rd.. it would blow off.. pshhhhh for quite some time.. as if someone blew a tire and air was coming out of it. I have tried it on the highway and boost is roughly 15psi and holds just fine in 3rd gear anyways...
Also, I have noticed that sometimes when I give it a quick let off the clutch into 2nd and give it a bit of gas.. the car seems to choke (wondering if this has to do with the bov leaking?) BUT these things do not happen all the time... which is the strainge part... what do you guys think

Should I tighten her up, or should I just take her off??

I have recently put in S1 and a full exhaust...
thanks

Take it off if you want the sound buy any form of SRI off of www.modernperformance.com

nah, I dont need the sound, but is this common to happen? I had no probs until after this weekend, driving through all this rain we had on the highway...

Ah! The infamous "TPS wire" problem rears it's ugly head once more!
Search for "TPS wire" and you'll find the fix.

He missed the memo about the cover sheet for the TPS report.

funny you should mention the tps wire.. BECAUSE I have noticed lately my car has been idleing higher at some times.. or when I let go of the gas the revs do not go all the way down all at once.. it peaks at around 2000rpm for a while... but then again I thought that had to do with the S1...

ummm... ok?

sorry, not to get off topic, but if it's the tps wire, then that's going to interfere with the operation of the bov. The bov going off at weird times is a symptom of the problem. If it remains a problem, take it in. It's a dealer fix.

you'd have to see "office space" to get the joke about the tps reports.. and the stapler

Well from my experience,Stage 2 blows off more than Stage 1 blows off more than Stage 0. That could be part of your situation.

The other thing I found is that that when I tightened all my IC piping clamps the car blew off less. Maybe try that.

thanks guys, I appreciate it.

so I took off my bov and I still have the problem. Looks like a vac leak, because it idles funny and a couple times almost stalled. 14000 km on it and I can't beleive I have an issue like this....
