Engine rich/stalling in sub zero drives

[got_psi]

hey guys, so the last few days its been between -18F and 3F and the car, when coming to an idle at a stop light or stop sign, it stalls out every time and driving along at 20-5 vacuum, its runs 10.1 and back fires like a b****.....car has CAI in wheel well, 1 step colder plugs, 2.5 cat back, ssafc running superstock, BOV/BPV setup, stock MAF location, and hard pipes. would maybe putting the intake inside the engine bay make a difference? all i know is that my IAT sensor was reading -8F +- 5F, and when its above 0, it wont do it....

Check to see if there is a leak before the Mass Air Sensor, one of the clamps or a break in the plumbing.

Check also for Vac source leaks, all of the small hoses around the intake manifold.

A leak will cause erratic idle.

could it maybe be the ssqv venting out to atmosphere? where its cold, things moving to slow?

 

[BRIAN_MP5T]

Agreed, it will bind up. You can try to take it apart and clean it, use a very light oil.

i tried just running through the BPV and its works great now besides the turkeys that moved back in.....ill try the light oil on the ssqv and see if that makes a difference....thanks!!

i might also try a re circulation kit for the ssqv so i dont have to relocate my maf....
