S13 blacktop
My blacktop backfires as a decellerate, most commonly inbetween downshifting. It may happen when in any gear but is most common when slowing down to a stop going from 3rd -> 2nd I get a backfire. Sometimes it will not, sometimes it will be subtle, but ussually it backfires. It is also more common after I'd been spooling and afterwards slow down. Now I found that my BOV diaphragm is busted, I just ordered a type RS and am putting it on ASAP. As I accellerate there is no (that I can tell) backfiring.
I am going to check plugs and timing aswell, but any advice would be appreciated, or people with the same situation's experience.
While I'm at it, there are tons of these threads, but I have the infamous decellerate -> stall problem. This may also be my BOV, but I wouldn't say so. Anyways, if I'm good and warmed up, I have to slow allllll the way down in 2nd gear before I can finally put it in neutral - we'll say 10 or less mph. otherwise, I'm stalled. Often when I'm slowing down and finally inch my way to neutral I notice the revs barely miss hitting dead, and then my idle finally kicks back in and they go up.
I'm going to adjust my new SAFC-II settings for DEC-air and am wondering what are some recommended settings. And if you have had this problem -- which is obviously quite common on tubrocharged vehicles -- what fixed it?
And last - shifter issue. I had a new tranny put in my car by a great shop and my shifter is loose. The mechanic had told me that the bushing and C-ring that hold the shifter in place may need to be replaced from being worn down. I don't know about this - It's not expensive I can get a bushing and C ring for a dozen bucks from a dealer but prior to being put in my shifter was perfectly stiff. Now it is quite loose - I can shake it a good deal and hitting gears feels nothing like it used to, however with some getting used to it it's not bad, but I'd rather have the feel I had before. No B&M or short shifter here, good old stock, but could use some help or opinions.
