I just recently had my old BOV replaced with HKS SSQV, even went the option of getting a plate made up as to fit it in the standard BOV mounts. The return has been blocked off and vac line of course hooked up.

Now it ran fine for the first drive but on the way to a friends I started having boosting issues, as in it wouldn't boost smooth. Then it was misfiring if I was at low rpm and put my foot down a little.

On the way back it wouldn't idle without wanting to die and now it just flat wont start or if it does its only for a few seconds then stalls. Smells really rich in fuel the short time it is running.

Any ideas on how to fix this and what it is?

i am assuming the bov is an atmo and not a plumb back if thats the case then usually this sort of thing happens, doesnt matter if you have an intercooler piping set up or in standard position, if you have got a aftermaket ecu a tune can sometimes fix the issue although your better off just taking the bov back off. sorry champ

Does anyone in Brisbane have a standard RB20 BOV they want to sell me?

I dont have the standard, never did. Bought the car with a turbosmart copy plumb back on there, only reason I swapped over was because it died. The end cap de threaded its self and I lost all of the internals on the highway

    • If doing that ^, I'd take the idle up valve out and plug the hole in the pump.
    • You can try capping the power steering idle up valve at both ends if it's old. The valve and the intake manifold. That is something that is known to fail in Toyotas with age and it will suck power steering fluid into the intake and burn it in the engine which can cause issues. Then bleed it again with engine off first. Do like 30+ lock to lock turns with the front wheels off the ground.
    • Hi Brent, I am wondering if you ever worked this out? I have upgraded this unit to a newer one and everything works bar the reverse camera, so i really want to know what plugs are what so I can patch the camera through. many thanks in advance Mike
    • Once you have to get up in the morning and be useful, you suddenly value sleep it turns out :p
    • Update:   smoke test all pipes no issues cleaned reservoir   fluid put in ( dexron 3 atf)   steering turn side to side and could hearing  gurgling from steering rack which I assumed was air lock, opened one of the steering rack connections and could see loads of air getting pushed out( not sure if you meant to do that / whether it will re introduce air into system)   anyways, loads of side to side sound was gone. Turned car on, pump was slightly ( barely) wining so turned side to side few more turns and fluid level when car on was almost none in resorvoir which I guess is normal if car is one. Turned car of and fluid was gushing out. Almost 200-300cc was pushed out. Repeated engine off side to side followed  by engine on and same result       going mad now. It seems system is either sucking air in whilst on or there is tons of air which I am not giving it enough time to bleed. Thoughts?   would it work like brake caliper if I open steering rack copper pipes and let gravity pull all air out?   or maybe have a restriction somewhere? What is the red circled item, could that be blocked? It i
