fizzlefish Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Installed a dual catch can setup today. Started it for the first time and now it runs lean and very rough. Set as follows... Going from cranks to catch can 1 in. From catch 1 out to a T with one end attched to the PCV out(out to ait intake) and the other end leading to catch can 2. Then back to air intake. does this sound correct? Maybe i damaged the PCV when doing this. Not sure but been trying to figure it out for hours and losing patience.

DaveWaters Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 I’m not sure about the catch can routing but this is the story of my life... You may already have, but I’d check all electrical connectors and vacuum lines near where you were working. Did you disconnect the battery? If so you may just need an idle relearn. Any MIL?

ehsnils Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 It can even be as simple as the PCV was bad to before. Start with replacing it and look for leaks and incorrectly connected hoses as some hoses are hard to get on right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rougeben83 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Reconnect PCV valve to system, if it solves the issue, the catchcan and the lines to it are the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xt2005bonbon Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 OP, which set up did you get? Was it costly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tocinoman25 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Sounds like a leak somewhere. I have the saikou michi dual catchcan and after draining it the 1st time I didnt close the drain nut tight enough and when I started my car it was running really rough. Do you hear a hissing sound at all? It should be pretty audible. Hope you find the source. Loose hose clamp?
