Damn. All this hi-tech, computerized stuff is too much for an old man. I'm going back to running a Holley 750cfm double pumper.

I think your leaky BOV / MAF signal idea is probably what is happening. I'll experiment with the adjustments.

On a good note, the car was running very strong before switching the bov. I easily walked away from a Camaro SS the other night.

Thanks.

It's also worth mentioning that a leaking BOV can induce fuel cut by increasing the MAF going through the intake tract (where it is measured).
Only if the BOV is vented to atmosphere instead of back to the pre-turbo/post-MAF pipe.

The mystery is solved. Turns out it was not the BOV at all. I had installed new plugs and Magnacor 8mm wires at the same time. One of them was causing the car to misfire. I put the stock plugs and wires on and the car runs great. I was very careful when I gapped the plugs. They are BPR7EIX NGK Iridiums. It must be the wires. They did not seem to be making good contact with the plugs. They practically fell off when I removed them. I'm sticking to the 1 mod at a time rule from now on.
