The past 2 weeks, my engine died a few times on me when I was pressing my clutch on low rpm (like when I was going very slow due to traffic jam). It really frustrated me because whenever I tried to make it die by just pressing the clutch, it never did! The rpm just went down to about 500 rpm and back up again. But it did fail on me a few times when I did not expect it at all!!
Any ideas ??
Thanks a lot in advance ... Gus

Aftermarket BOV by chance?

Perhaps the air idle control valve?


maybe?????

BOV, yes, I have the Apex BOV.
Apart from that, the other mods are just BCC, downpipe & air filter.
BTW, forgive my ignorance (I'm terrible at mechanical things!!), but which one is the air idle control valve ?? And what does it do ?

Thanks a lot ... Gus

A lot of us have had the occasion where the bov vents into the atmosphere and disturbs the MAF. Therefore causing the car to shut off. I have had it happen to me once, it is not a normal thing.
