CEL please help
CEL please help
Okay, today I washed my car cause of all the crud I collected on it at yesterdays auto-x. About an hour later I took it for a drive and about 3 min into the drive my CEL goes on. Now, I have a HKS BOV ; a Blitz LM intake; and a Blitz Nur-Spec axel back. That is all. I have run this combo for awhile, about 6 months. With the exception of the axel back which has been on for 2 weeks. I have never had a problem until now. I think it might have something to do with the BOV which I sorta broke a few days ago. ( pulled the vaccum nipple right outta the valve ) I pushed it back in too far the first time and the valve made real F'd up noises on blow- off, kind of a "shuddering" blow-off. Well I pulled it out more and it seemed fine after that. But that was a few days ago and I never had a prob. till today. I even ran auto-x no prob.
Any thoughts/ suggestion ??
Thanks Steve

Check the gas cap to make sure it's tight. Fill up the tank recently?

Richard,
The last time I filled gas was yesterday, before auto-x. So I don't think that's the prob. Thanks though. I just reset the ECU, disconect neg batt terminal and stand on the brake for awhile. Is this correct ? Anyway the light went away.......If it comes back do you know anyone who can pull the code ?
Thanks,
Steve

I can sometimes borrow an OBD 2 scan tool.
It can take a period of time for the evaporative emissions pressure loss CEL to show up - so it still may have been a loose gas cap.
Might be a MAF related signal as well.
Nothing to worry about though. The CELs you worry about will FLASH.

HKS BOV
I bought an HKS and it barely makes any sound. Sometimes I hear a fluttering sound. Basically I have to be at pretty high RPM for it to make any sound. All my hoses are tight and there is pretty much nothing else to the BOV. Anyone know what the problem could be?

tight bov
sounds nasty! I tried that. I loosened the screw way out. There was no change. I am going to try even looser, hopefully there won't be any leakage.
The screw was pretty loose when I tried it. I just hope I didn't buy a lemon from someone.

Yup
It's 1:40 am. I am done. The bolt fell down onto the manifold. Big drag. I had to pull off the BOV to get to it. Thanks to my handy little grabber I was able to get it. I guess the bolt wasn't that long. I also checked out that tube. It was a little loose. It is flared and isn't going in too far. I will find out tomorrow if the new adjustment worked.
Well back to voyager and then to bed. Thanks to Tivo!
