Hey guys, I have a 95 with a redtop SR basically stock. 3inch o2 outlet, 3inch downpipe and testpipe (stock exhaust minus the rear section which broke off), FMIC, closed mbc, generic air filter, and a walbro 255lph pump. I'm running the stock re-circ valve, and my car is running like crap. Its not missing or anything like that, but it pops between almost every shift. I know a tune will fix the backfiring / popping, but what about the stalling and weak idle? If I'm comming to a stop in gear, and then shift into neutral the car will stall as if I was venting. It will studder when I start off sometimes, and if I give it a rev in neutral the idle will drop way down almost to the point of stalling (which it sometimes does). It normally idles around 900pms, I know there is a fuel issue or an issue with the pump because I can sometimes hear the fuel pump almost loping. There is also a "pssssssssst noise while the pump is priming before I start the car or turn the key to the on position. Could this fuel issue be causing the stalling? I'll mess around with the idle for a bit and see how it does.

*There was a VERY loud pop one night a couple of weeks ago on a shift from 2nd to 3rd, which is when the problem with the idle started. I checked all the piping / hoses / couplers and everything is tight (even checked before and after the mafs). Thanks in advance guys

besides the idle problem, does it drive normal on cruising speed?

check for leaks from tubing and turbo, fuel can be a huge dilemma

Yep, drives perfectly while cruising / accelerating. I'll look for leaks when I get a chance

Get a real BOV, the stock one blows incredibly hard.
