When i rev the car up, and it revs down, the engine will rev down to its idle speed, bog then die. Can anyone help me figure this out?

it does it when driving, like when i pull up to stop sign, i push in on the clutch and let off the gas and when it revs down it will bog below idle and want to die. i have to hit the gas to keep it running. It does the same when i am under the hood, it idles steady all the time just not when it revs down.

Probably has nothing to do with a VTA BOV since it is dying at an idle. Does this only happen after the car has warmed up? Check the MAF but I wonder if the air regulator is not operating properly by sticking open. Is it plugged in (blue hard to reach plug under the manifold)?

Also check your injectors. Does it bog down at all when you're revving or accelerating?

I had 2 messed up injectors (dumping fuel) and my car would bog and almost die unless I revved it.

if your bov is open at idle that would also cause it to want to die(its pretty much a big boost leak) recirculate your BOV and it should fix your problem.

How do you raise the idle without a tuner?

By turning out the idle screw on the IAC valve on the back of the intake.
