Don't use Brake Cleaner or a Cigarette... Get a propane torch and turn the gas on. Move it all over the BOV & even stick the end of the torch right into the BOV exit to force propane in & see if the idle changes.

Lack of re-circulation was never an issue for me. Idled fine as long as the damn BOV closed & sealed properly.
Makes sense, I'll give it a shot.

The BOV did come with the swap and I have no idea how long the PO had it before that so it could just be pretty old. It would be super odd if it just happened to fail completely right after I fixed the other stuff though.
