Help Im worried

[R33_Series2Lover]

Hi their I have recently fitted a Hybrid Stealth fx BOV and It started to stall so in order for it to work a mechanic minded next door neighbour raised idle a little and played around with the BOV setting and now it seems to be idling ok hasnt stalled since is this ok?? When i turn on the car it idles alittle high then return to normal once car is warmed up. One other prob the car has this tapping sound coming from the engine. Its starts off once car is turned on but once car is warm it either goes away or is i hear a very light tapping is this the Hydraulic lifters?? If so can i do something to make it stop completely pour some kind of solution in the engine to clean it and does this have any connection with me connection a BOV???? Thanks for your guys answers im kinda worried.

ok the engine will idle up when cold and slow idle back to normal once war anyway thats normal. The car would have been stalling coz the setting on the bov may have been to soft or something hard to say unless ya have a look at it. the tapping noise may be the lifters, all u can do is either bare the noise, run a slighty thicker oil or replace them, but find out for sure what it is first. good luck, i wouldn t be worried, sometimes an exhaust leak can appear to be a ticking sound to.

Is it a tapping or a ticking, cos it could just be the injectors.

Yeh it actually is a ticking type of sound. Does it have anything to do with the fitment of the Blow off valve. Another thing is it ok to play with the idle to make the BOV run ok?

Thanks guys for your answers

the idling shouldnt really make the bov go ok!!! it will stall if the bov is leaking. there should be a tension setting for the bov spring somewher eon the bov. Im not familiar with ur type of bov. Try a thicker oil in engine, or just get a mechanic to tell u.

yeh the tension thing is on the top of the BOV. Does it need to be really tightly tensioned or does it need to be soft.

sounds like a hose leak too... have you blocked off the return hose where the factory BOV plumbs back into??? maybe a hose or something cos a leak in the system can make a car idle erratically
