The tune is pretty close as far as we can tell. So just before we're ready to wrap it up I say "let's just get one WOT run for a final scan". It's raining so I don't want to kill anyone, we do a WOT hit and bang..... The exhaust gets real loud and the car looses power. The idle goes up and down and it practically stalls. Now the car is loud and I have lost power. The car was running great minutes before that. I looked under the car and can not see any defects in the exhaust. PLUS the exhaust is completely welded, so there's no where for it to leak. It's just louder. I'm thinking the cats probably blew out their guts and it got caught in the exhaust and has become a restriction causing the loss of power. That would explain why it got loud, and why it lost power. On top of which I'm thinking that I hearing a valve tap after that last run...now I have to re adjust the valves. I hope that's all it is.. Other issues: low oil pressure, which I am fairly certain is the sending unit. We had the bottom end apart and everything looked fine there. Also, the oil pump was out and that was fine too. Oil temp 230ish, until the AC goes on, then we're looking at 250 and change. WTF is going on? Don't be surprised to see this thing in the for sale section soon....I'm this >< close... |
