Right turns loss of power
Loss of power. Feels like a miss fire. Yes I know about right turns and proper valve cover venting and Ive done a lot of different configurations lol
So my car only does this on right turns, not on left. My car is 2.4 13:1 motor and I've done the valve cover mod. My catch can is connected at both factory vents and vents to the atmosphere through one catch can. Nothing recirculates to the intake mani. If I have less oil in the motor, the car does not do it a often or as pronounced. Half quart low. Any ideas? Maybe not even oil related...fuel pressure? Too much compression? Should I have it recirculate to the mani? Open to any ideas..thanks! |
BTW...My car never did this before the 2.4 swap. 2.2 I had no issues.
its been like this day one when I put this motor in. |
How significant is the power loss? Does it feel like it does when it ingests oil, or more like fuel cut?

I was thinking maybe spark plug gap but it doesn't seem to do it on left turns...so Im lost lol |
Weird. Still seems like oil getting in the combustion chamber. I've never had this issue on any of my motors so I'm probably not the most experienced at troubleshooting this one. But if consumption is severe enough for the engine to bog, id think there would be some signs present, either a cloud of blue smoke behind you or some oil contamination signs on your plugs. Both of which can be a hard chase since you cant just pull over mid apex to pull a plug and see, and unless its a hug cloud, you are not usually going to see it, but the guy behind you might if your so lucky to talk to him.

Yeah..it seems like oil is getting in there but I dont have oil consumption and no smoke which is weird. I track with my buds and they've never seem me blow smoke while behind me.

Clearly your Motec is cutting power for traction control.
:LOL: |

How do your plugs look?
Last time I checked them, perfect. No oil, not too dark, not too light. Ill pull them again to double check just to be sure. Ill measure the gap too. |
turn on your data logging and check if you are logging a misfire
lateral load causing a wire to ground/short leading to misfire? |
