i need a little help

alright, first off, my car isnt boosting like it should, i use to boost at 6psi when accelerating, now its only 5, and the bov has changed its sound as well, any ideas?

another thing is when im driving, if i roll up my windows (simultaneously), the rpms will drop, go back up, drop, ect. till i let go of the buttons, and i have noticed the motors are really slow, and sometimes dont even roll the windows up unless i grab the window and help them out. could it just be wore out motors?

help me out guys, thanks

RE: i need a little help

wtf~
you just described my car perfectly haha.

Check all your gaskets, and your Air filter and all your couplers.
Make sure all your vacuum lines are connected good.
And what type of BOV are you runnin?
If you can adjust the spring tension make sure its tight
You don't have compressor surge do you?

Maybe you have bad grounds? Thats the only thing I could think of that would cause your windows to affect your idle.

RE: i need a little help

ive got a tail bov, i dont know if its adjustable, ive cleaned my air filter, and checked most of the hoses

could the old window motors be the cause of the ground?

RE: i need a little help

my car does the same exact thing....except the whole BOV part lol. The motor on my passenger side is about gone cause it needs help sometimes when the window is rolling back up.
