I have an '02 wrx w/ sti tmic, hks ssqv, and around 17psi.. once it warms up if i throw it in neutral from say 1st or 2nd and descent r's it will die. then it doesnt want to start unless i give it a little gas and then it starts fine but promptly dies again. i can however feather the gas a little until it can settle at an idle and then it will idle fine. ANY THOUGHTS OR WISDOM WOULD BE GREAT!
thanks

 

wow...thats weird...i have 02 wrx running stage 2 with cobb AP and hks ssqv and have no problems starting and idling

 

Well first off how are u running 17lbs of boost unless you have an AP or boost controller? If you are not tuned you should be, also lose the BOV, its just making your car run like doo doo. The stock bypass-valve can handle the pressure.

 

i have 05 wrx running stage 2 with cobb AP and hks ssqv and have no problems starting and idling, or any other problems since I installed my BOV 5 months ago. Only get random backfire that aren't to noticeable

 

you dont consider backfireing a problem?

 

is that stage 2 with dp/tbe?

 

BOV, TMIC, and 17PSI???? Are you serious? Where are your turbo, injector, exhaust mods?

I really hope you have more than just what you posted on your question. Cause I slap people like you that think they can run 17lb's on stock everything and expect their cars to run for over a week.

17lb's, car having trouble? Wonder why?

 

stock exhaust manifold ported and polished, Invidia up and downpipe w/ hks cat back. perrin light crank pulley, fidanza flywheel, sti tmic, turbosmart boost control, kandn short ram. is that enough for 17lbs? i still have the problem w/ the boost around 6lbs too though so i guess it doesnt matter. i think the utec will fix this problem.
