Avant stalling

[Brandon Rogers]

I'm still not totally clear which symptoms point to BPV failure vs ISV failure.

Any help appreciated.

TIA-

Brandon

  I have not had any problems with my stock bypass and am running 2.5 bar boost.

  I had the problem as you describe and it was remedied by repair/replace the Idle Stabilizer Valve.

  I sa r/r because I cleaned the original ISV once and the problem resolved for a time.  Cleaned it with throttle body cleaner.  Eventually I had to replace it, and the  problem has not recurred.

  You may want to verify operation of both, or at least BPV since this is the easier to test, before replacing anything.

  Typical bypass valve failure creates the exact symptoms you describe-
  I've had two stock valves fail on me- the engine stalls when you cut
  the throttle and coast to a stop. Replacement of the valve fixed it
  every
  time. I'm running a Bailey, no problems since.

  OK-why does it seem like the BPV, not the ISV?  Is it because the clutch
  is engaged and failing BPV causes compressor stall..then engine stall?
  And symptoms of a ISV failure would be pushing in the clutch and engine
  stalling instead of falling to idle?

  Thanks for the edumacatin'
