Exclamation Help!!!somethings Wrong With My Car!!

well recently i have noticed that my car has been stalling once in a while. Then it started stalling every time i came to a dead stop. It stays alive if i keep reving at it. I thought it was because the bov so i put it back to stock. Then i tried driving home and it felt like it was dying. It would accelerate then suddenly slow down...then accelerate again..Does ANYBODY have any idea whats wrong???

after market BOV?

Maybe loose vacuum hose?

Did you tighten the BOV bolts?

Reset the ECU.

I would check all hoses associated with the BOV/BPV and the TMIC. Did this problem occur right after putting on the aftermarket BOV?

well ive had the bov for a few months..then when i went back to stock it was worse..maybe i didnt tighten it enough or the hose isnt on tight because i couldnt find the clamp..my uncle said it might be the vacuum hose.
