Hows it goin San Diego S2K, I need some help Asap, I had my valve cover, spark plug cover and rims powder coated yesterday, After i reinstalled everything, i took my s for a drive and it revs high but doesnt have the same pull it had before, it feels like the car is dragging, if anyone has any idea what it could be or can come check it out id love some help! Any comments or Ideas are appreciated!!


update: pulled the valve cover back off, the oil all over the engine/ valve cover smells burnt, its pretty much brown, Its roil purple oil 50% life left, shouldnt be that dark, someone tell me my engine isnt f'd please...

 

Dirty air filter? CEL light? Oil ok? Any other symptoms?

 

might want to double check if plugs and coils are on correctly.

 

Injen cold air intake - brand new, no lights... i just took off the coils packs, igniters whatever you wanna call them, i think a bit of oil got in the back plug tube, the other three where clean, i guess ill clean them out and try again??

 

oil definately smells burnt, WTF any ideas?

 

is the oil level correct? is the cam cover leaking? did you remove the sensors on the cam cover? are you sure everything went back the way it was before?

it is not abnormal for the oil to smell burned under the valve cover I have removed many and they all smell that way

 

I can check out your car but I will not be able to until Friday night after work. I am the guy that sold you the exhaust.

 

thanks man, pm'd
