Surging after Mighty Mouse catch can install
Hey guys, just wondering if anyone had any experience with something like this. I installed a catch can on my car a while back and I got a bit of surging after that. There was pretty much none when I got the car back after the H/C install. Any idea what I should be looking at? All the hoses are tight and there’s no obvious signs of a vacuum leak. Should I run a smoke test? It’s an irritation at this point and I was gonna have RPM check it out when I go back for the intake but it’s starting to annoy me now. What say you, fellas?

Have you contacted us to make sure the hose routing is correct?
If you had a pcv system on the car, and went away from it (race system) then you may need to add idle air that formerly was supplied by pcv.
If you had a delete on the car (pcv tuned out), and have changed back to pcv, then you may need to remove idle air now being supplied by pcv

I have a video I can send you too if the routing is too hard to see. I went behind the fuse box but I could shorten the lines and route the way most people do if you think that’s causing the issue. Everything was stock when I did the heads cam and got it tuned. I added the can after the install
