Stagea Stalled When I Did A Quick Stop.

[bluesky4me]

Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else or if anyone knows what may have caused this. I was approaching a green arrow which turned amber, I decided to stop..it was a controled but qick stop..the car stalled just as it stopped...it started again ..and didnt do anything unusual after. Just seemed a bit weird.Any thoughts?

Cheers

Scott.

It is an auto by the way.....

hey mate are you runnin a stock or after market BOV? Mine stalled a lot with the aftermarket one

How much fuel did you have, could it be fuel surge? Also what mods have you got?

[EGA41T]

my old laser used to do that, it turned out to be something to do with the brake booster from memory...i think

[bluesky4me]

The car does have an after market BOV and a large after market exhaust system...guess I will have to wait and see if it happens again..

Falcon used to do this. Something to do with the vacuum from the engine which powers the brakes being overwhelmed by the sudden change in pressure and stalling the engine. Maybe. Thats what i was told, anyway.

does your aftermarket BOV vent to atmosphere?

if so this is your problem.

stick the factory BOV back on = problem solved

Check your ignition timing is 15 to 20 degrees. Mine stalled if it was retarded. Easy to check, easy to fix.

aftermarket venting bov = stall.

Negative, I have a atmo venting bov and have no stalls, you need some sort of aftermarket ecu or piggyback ecu to stop it from stalling.

[fcruz3r]

mine has done that like 3 times in the past couple of months.. under sudden braking...not stalled to a point where it dies off...but rather the idling was slightly unstable.

I'm using the stock bov with only a larger exhaust for mods...will get my safc installed to see if that solves it...else i might get a hks eids to stablise the idle.

atmo venting and auto will stall i dont think it affects manual

[wolverine]

it affects manual cars as well.

there is a massive thread on this in forced induction.

you can tune around it with aftermarket ECU's but why have your car run pig rich for a few seconds for NO performance gain??

factory BOV works fine so why not use it and spend your money on things that improve the car.

hi there mate i had the same problem i have a 97 stagea it has a upmount to4 turbo with a external wastegate.

i use to have a blow off vavule that use to vent in to the atmosphere what u need to do is to get a blow off vavule that vents back into ur turbo then ur car wont stall if that doest not work then there is something else wrong with ur motor.
