I have my BOV vented to the atmosphere, with no check valve, so of course the car doesn't idle, and acts badly at light throttle.
DOesn't the dec-air function on the S-AFC correct for this?? I can't figure out how to use it though!! The manual is vauge...
ANyone used this before??
Thanks

 

I have an na for now...I know It's not a concern for na owners. Sorry I couldn't help. I hear you on the manual. Very vague.

 

Gotta be someone......

 

Install the check valve it works great and will save you a lot of time.

 

Yeah, the check valve will solve all your problems. Very simple to install as well.

Funny thing is I can't find one, exept for a little tiny one for a brake booster!
Where have people gotten theirs??

 

nope won't help you. it doesn't idle now because it's leaking air. the S-afc is for changed the settings when the BOV goes off, not for leaks.. on talons etc the car can stall between shifts or when it goes off without it... different then leaking.

the decel thing isn't needed on our cars. leave it at 0. and fix the intake leak.

 

Find it at Home Depot or your local hardware store.

 

Yeah, a hard ware store. Look in the plumbing stuff, Home Depot has a **** load of them.

 

I guess I'll go with the check valve then.
I just wanted to avoid it because they look like **** under the hood!!
Oh well...

 

Dont some BOVs have built in Check valves?

 

BOV that are made to vent to the atmosphere wont leake but not the stock one

 

Good BOVs are on eBay fairly cheaply all the time. Probably better to pick one up that was designed to be open-vented then modify the stocker. Besides, the stocker gets marginal at 10PSI.
