Title: Catch can problem!
Post by: DarkGti on 01 April 2010, 17:49

Right! After installing my Saikou Michi catch can and removing all the pcv system i have a problem, when my car comes to idle after revving the rev's drop like its going to stall but dosent and the revs rise again and its fine has anyone got any ideas what this could be?

p.s all the hoses are tight and jubilee clipped!

Is the crankcase ventilation pipe sealed in properly, has a u-clip over it, that can be quite a little sh!t to get back in properly

Have you reset the throttle body? Mine took a while to get used to not having the PCV system, just give it some time. Oh and I know this sounds patronising but is the tap on the bottom shut? I needs to be wound out as far as it will go to be shut

reading through 'pats' how to on ukmkivs i don't think it has any sort of detriment to the system once removed anyway  :wink: mine seems alot better now i'm running the catch tank  :smiley: just haven't had a look yet to see if i ought to drain it  :laugh:
