BOV Recirc to VTA Guide?

[Kain]

Kain let's invent a BPV that has an air compressor and measures how much air is going into recirc and pushes that much air to atmosphere simultaneously. We'd make millions. I guarantee it.

I'm Gordon Gekko, and I approve this message.

I just want my BOV to release colored smoke from my front fenders that matches my paint/neon underglow.

I think it would be cooler if you got some purple and gold confetti packets and went to tiger stadium. Then you could hit high gear and sand-blast folks in purple and gold with the vent...

Bad news: I got a CEL . I've run VTA before and it didn't do it on the previous time. All I did was remove the hose connecting to the BOV and change the inserts (hose insert to fin insert). What else must I do? What did I do wrong?

Did you plug the recirc hose?

yeah you probably got code P2187 for being lean. thats probably cause you didn't plug the recirc hose so you are bringing in unmetered air. i went to a hardware store and bought a cap that you put on like the bottom of a chair or cane for 99 cents. it was 1-1/8", worked like a charm.

Can I just plug up the hose? The hose is still connected to the inlet and I want it so I can put it back to recirc quickly.

stick a D battery in the end of the recirc hose, it works perfectly. Not all the way in there but shove the batter about 1/3 or 1/2 of the battery length in the hose.

I went to Home Depot and bought a 1 1/8" plug for the bottom of chairs and fit it into the recirc hose. I'm still getting the CEL. Does it take some time to go away? I still feel it jerk around the same amount as when I first changed to VTA.

It will go awqy after driving like 40-50miles, the jerking will calm down also as long as you capped the recirc tube all the way
