hey, my sr has been randomly stalling and i want to fix it, what things can i check? i had a leak before the turbo (exhaust manifold–\> turbo) but i cemented it over and it seems to be holding. The only reoccurance that i can think of is that is stalls after i push it really hard. like going from 0-60 hard and then slowing down to go park … stalls. but sometimes the car catches it and fixes it, sometimes no. the e-brake light and the battery light go on when in stalls or is about too. (i can double check but i’m pretty sure). grounds maybe? something electrical? fuel rail was bent but i fixed as best i could, but i think if that was the problem, it would have stalled all the time. please help, `nik ---

stiffen ur BOV, what is your idle? set your idle to 1000rpm and tell me if it helps. ---

I think its ur Oil Press light and Battery light, they will come on whenever the engine is in teh “ON” position but not running. They will light up only when the RPM = 0 ---

i’m not sure what my idle is because i don’t have a working tach. but i will raise the idle speed… is it the plastic screw around the throttle body? (i think alittle behind it) or do i use the ecu? yeah it probably is engine pressure :roll: ebrake HA! ---

Its the only way to do it if you say your BOV is non adjustible. ---

his BOV is adjustable where does it say it isn’t? its HKS SSQV right? Anyways, yes its the plastic screw, mine stripped when i tired to do it so… good luck! 😛 if you dont know your idle it will be tricky, most likely your idle now is like 500rpm and your car is blowing off and stalling. Why does your tach not work? im sure you can find a DOHC tach somewhere… ---

(its from the exhause manifold to the turbo) thanks ---

not to mention getting the turbo off after would be a bitch!! put some lock washers and tighten them up good… it seems to be a common problem. The bolts get hot, expand and loosen off the studs. Good luck man! Glad the idle helped your bov issues. ---

ya that braket is to keep it in place, look at the SR FSM it tels you what to torque it to. Go to brafasco and buy the highest grade automotive high temp nuts you can find, double nut it if you can, if not just put a washer/lockwasher/nut and tighten it to spec… hopefor the best! ---

Wouldnt when it heats up expand everything making it tighter? Oh and about the bolts fuck brafasco, honestly go to you local canadian tire in the hardware (YES hardware) they have all the bolts, nuts washers you need. And there chep, Brafasco makes you buy a box of 40 with a $10 limit. ---

And there chep, Brafasco makes you buy a box of 40 with a $10 limit. they are not high temp bolts, they keep expanding and pulling out of andrews exhaust mani, only brafasco sells the best grade nuts/bolts, try NAPA too… also, the stud is high temp, so it doesn’t expand where as the nut is not meant for that, it expands a lot, gets loose and vibration makes it fall off. If you just use bolts then crappy tire ones are good because they expand and hold better, but they are all nuts with studs on the exhaust mani.
