An alternator starting to go bad can do this. It has happened for me on my 08 several times after after I put in an under drive pulley. I went up to the 2010 model alternator (or go up in power) and the issues went away. It could also be that the phasers are still moving when they shouldn't. I...
I'm at 202K+ miles on my 2008 and I've found that ticking can come from multiple places. The most common that I've seen over the years of internet searching for my own car was from the fuel injectors/ignition coils, roller rockers, or somewhere within the drive train and/or the VCT system. Your...
So a last ditch thought of mine was that hopefully cylinder 3 had a lot of gunk built up in it, which would allow some oil to get through and foul up the plug that I've replaced so many times. Since my last post, I added some Marvel's Mystery Oil to the oil and ran it for about 750 miles and...
Thanks. Glad to hear you're getting yours ironed out too. I wasn't able to do the compression test because I couldn't find any settings that fit (went to all of stores). I did check on my plugs again since I had them out and #3 had burnt oil on the electrode on up to about 3 threads. No...
I'm running the stock tune still with no mods to effect A/F ratio. It literally only happens in 3rd or 4th gear when coasting at or gradually passing 3000rpm-3500rpm. I've had to change my shifting patterns just to get around all of this. That's the worst part about it is that The car runs great...
Ended up just buying another stock intake (used). No luck. It did stop the air leak and the car is now running smoother but I'm still getting the misfires when holding in 3rd or 4th at 3000rpms.
I have an air leak where the actuator connects to the cmcv (cylinder 8 side). I'll be taking my shot with the cmdp's hoping this is my issue but I'll definitely be following this thread as well.
I need some help identifying a part on the engine block. It's located behind/beneath the bolt that holds down the intake manifold at the corner of cylinder 8 (pictured below). While searching for vacuum leaks, I came upon what sounded like an air leak coming from this part. I've listened to...
