Driving arouns town the car drives good. this is my first time driving to work with the sr. I drove on the highway for like 20min then when i came to my first stoplight and pressed the clutch in my car shuts off. it started to shut off everytime i would slow down at a stoplight. then it needed some gas to start it back up. I will be leaving work at 7. so anyhelp would be helpful

your BOV is just upsetting the fuel mixture when you disengage the clutch. The car is going full rich as the BOV vents to the atmo. Just rev the engine up when you disengage the clutch, and that'll help solve it.

the only way to fix a blow off valve richening the fuel mixture is to recirculate it. It's just the physics of a MAF equipped system. The MAF has already metered the air and the fuel is sent to the injectors. When you close the throttle plate and the BOV vents, the air leaves the system completely, but the fuel still reaches the cylinder.

BOV's don't stall the car out all the time, but it is a common problem for a car to be driving along, and then when you come up to a stoplight, stall out.

Yup Recirculate it or get a SAFC2 Im too poor to get an SAFC2 so I just tap the throttle hear and there when I feel like it is going to stall.

hum...okieeeee :confused: we have timing chains and not belts. Plus that has nothing to do with stalling out. If your timing chain was broken you would be **** out of luck.
