BCS Woes

[Johnders2586]

Has anyone ever heard or know what may cause my BCS to fail now for the 2nd time in about 6 months? It just seems ot just stop working and its not a cheap part. Im contemplaiting just using a MBC even though ive heard no good come out of one.. but im at that point.

You using a GM 3-port? If not, try that.

[Johnders2586]

No just the stock one.. where would i find a gm 3 port and is it the same as far as install?

EDIT: NM i looked it up the problem with that is i cant afford a protune to accomidate it. I guess im stuck

you could get an internet road tune for it. You'd need a wideband O2 with logging, a tactrix cable, and a bit of cash.

If you're running OpenECU, I can talk to my tuner if you want. Either that or you can talk to him on STLSubaru. He's Testes1010 on there.

I only have AP and no cash i orderd a new one offline fix it for now , its about my only option with the money i have.. thanks for all your help

1)Who is doing the diagnosis for your car?They should be checking the voltage and ampacity for that circut.
2)Stop buying new ones.You can usually find them cheap on NASIOC classifides or Ebay for around $25.
3)What are all your mods?

[Johnders2586]

Im doing the diagnosis im not exactly a certified mechanic. i checked the voltage wiht my auto meter but im assuming it should be around 12-13 and it was but im not sure what elee to look for, the dealer said it may be a short due to a cracked wire but i cant see ne in the motor compartment.. Alls i have is ap stg 2 no other proformance mods..

The ECU does contorl the BCS by 12v-13 volts.So you can actually test the BCS by making some test leads and connecting the ground to the battery negitive and just touch the positive momentairilly to the battery posistive.You should hear it audibly click.If it does then the problem lies else where (wiring maybe,bad connection).If you still have your old solenoids I would test them.Also try cleaning the solenoid with some electronic cleaner or some non chlorinated brake cleaner.Just a couple squirts,not alot needed.Blowby can gum up the solenoids sometimes.

[Johnders2586]

Ok i will try to test the old one , i have also cleaned the bsc with electronic cleaner already but i will get back to you wiht my results

k so i teasted the bcs wiht some leads form the battery and it did click so what does that mean??

For another update.. i slapped my friends MBC on there and quit frankly im thinkin im gonna leave it becuase im tierd of the boost issues they have been ongoing for me since i bought the car over 2 years ago so whatever thanks for everyones help..

I'm serious, please don't double post.
