i have a 2000 civic ex with greddy turbo kit(EMANAGE). when i let off the gas it will stall. and the engine light does not come on. i had a cel which was the primary o2 sensor. but i replaced it today and it still stalls but no engine light. i thing i noticed is that the recommened spark plug gap is .044 but others in this forum gap down to .028. but i still dont think that woud cause it to stall. also i dont have the bov on my car yet. i dont drive it but would that also b a cause of stalling. i need serious help my car has been down for over a month and a half. p.s, i no emanage sucks but its all i have for now. thans in advance

 

im gonna gap my plugs down to .030 and see how that works

 

 

anybody?

 

?

 

no 1 can help me? damn!!!

 

This may sound stupid, but have you set the base idle on the car yet?

ill give it a try in the morning

 

any vaccum leaks?

 

2000 Civic... Does this car use a MAF sensor? If so, an open-atmosphere BOV can cause the car to stall.

 

well there was a hose hangin down. i couldnt figure out were it went. there was no place for it to go. its above from were the coolant line is from the block to the throttle body. i blew into it and there was a line that was pulled off the throttle body,air was comin out of it

uzzled: is this a vacuum line, or the intake hose...?

 

i dont no but i hooked it up to the intake anyways. i only have problems when i leave off the throttle. 1 thing i forgot to mention is that i dont have the bov on yet

I pray to god that was a typo and you meant MAP. The 2000 civic DOES NOT have a MAF sensor...

Anyway I had the same problem bro. My car would stall if I didnt igve it continuous gas. It was timing all along........I adjusted the timing and my **** drove like a champ

edit...you are using the e-manage...does that adjust timing wwith boost......

wait..hold the phone...no BOV?? Is it an internal wastegate...if not, that may be your problem!

Greddy kit (sounds internally wastegated)...does the turbo have a little round disc attached to a metal rod?

 

yes

 

Oh wow... BOV = Essential. You will accumulate excessive Exhaust Gas Reversion and not to mention extreme compressor damage due to the surge when the TB snaps shut. I'm surprised your I/C piping isn't all over the place.

 

With internally wastegated turbos, I heard that BOVs aren' t necessary unless you're running mad high boost. But having said that, I would definately check all of your vacuum hoses very carefully...something is definately not hooked up right
