Could someone please give me some pointers,I installed a hks bov,aftermarket 3000 pipe replacement and a k&n intake with aluminum piping.the intake has the stock bov connection plugged,however the car is running a little rough,it shakes at low rpm,doesnt boost smoothly and cuts off at stop lights,I checked all the lines and swapped the air flow sensor,and the problem still remains.
Motor cutting off after intake and bov installed

ur going to have to recirculate your bov.

The same thing hapened to me when i put an intake on but it went away after driving for about 20 miles.
the reason you car is stalling is because when you blow off its letting metered air out of the system, when that happens the car will run rich because it thinks there is more air than there actually is. there are a couple ways to take care of this problem, you can recirculate your bov or run a map based computer system.
also i would do a boost leak test to make sure more meter air isnt escaping the system.

u can try adjusting the spring on it. but when you blow out to the atmosphere your car suddenly runs rich because you loose the metered air that passed thru the afm
If your parts car was an auto then it could be ran without recirculation but the stick shift guys have to recirculate it, my 90 auto runs fine uncirculated but my buddies 5 speed turbo 90 runs like shit without it recirculated
btw yes that screw is the one you need to adjust. if you can get it to close quick enough you should be fine. but its a pita either recirc or go maft blow thru
ya i agree with every one else you need to recirculate the air i have and hks on my car with full upper after market ic pipe and my hks has a vac line off of it that connects the pipe that is right in front of the 3000 pipe... so def. try that for sure
I agree with all of the above...recirc it to check if that fixes your problem and it never hurts to check your vacuum hoses. I found a few old ones that popped off or needed replacement when i first bought my 89 and it caused some intermittent poor performance.
Ive run the HKS on a stick on stock electronics w/o recirc to see how it sounded/performed... rough idle for m, and it would sometimes stall when stopped. I then ran it with the stock bov recirced and the HKS to air at the same time...i still had the cool pewwww sound and no issues with stall or rough idle...but have no clue how or if it was causing any unseen issues...
I later recirced the HKS and found that the best for me as i was over the pewww sound and preferred the reliability.
On the new auto there is a blitz DD to atmosphere and so far so good but i havent had the chance to drive it much and may recirc it anyways...Hope that on an auto it performs better for me.
