Guys,
Always trust the list! I posted about this high boost/low rpm stumble I've
had since installing the MTM 1+. Well, I thought I was overwhelming the BPV
but I got quite a few responses suggesting plugs/connectors ignition related
stuff etc. Since I have new plugs and connectors I figured it must be
something else so I tinkered with the BPV some more to no avail. Then I
remembered splicing in some coils over a year ago. The sympyoms I heard with
the ignition replys sounded exactly the same as mine so took off the cover
and re-wrapped my splice with electrical tape and threw on a layer of duct
tape for good measure. Drove the car today. It will hold 20+ psi in 5th with
no stumble whatsoever. SMOOTH AS SILK. I just now realized that the first
time I had the BPV apart I also checked the torque on the plugs so jiggling
the coil wires may have caused the symptoms to temporarily cease. Can you
imagine how long it would take a dealership to figure something like this
out? You guys are the best. Thanks to all who replied. I still think having
all the Rs2 bits would make it even smoother:-)
