I'm going to be mentioning what are the current symptoms and what have been done previously and be straight to the point so it can be easier to guess what it can be the issue. I'm not a mechanic but I've learned a lot thanks for scotty and other sources, besides myself thinking what the "****" is happening with my car.
What has been done (Since the last year):
- Brand new Valve Cover with gasket
- Changed Spark Plugs (I did the gaps right) and coils (Cables were not changed, was to expensive with brand new cables)
- Alternator (Another issue that it was having)
- Transmission oil + Transmission oil filter
- Oil changes
- Change Radiator (I've been checking and fluid not leaking into the engine).
- Air Filter
Symptoms:
- Car no accelerating.
- Engine used to vibrate a lot. After changing the alternator (When I noticed the voltage drop), it stopped to vibrate that much, vibrate less. (I guess it could be a engine mount but they seems ok to me.
- A bit/moderate White smoke coming out of the engine oil cap after running for a while when I open cap (And a strong smell of gas)
- Smell of gas on the exhaust pipe. (Sometimes I can smell it on the car a bit when I turn just the blower on, A/C Has not been repaired yet)
- Oil coming into the Throttle body through the PCV Valve hose.
- Oil coming out of the recently installed Valve Cover Gasket.
What I will do today:
- Change Gas Filter since it needs to be changed
-Clean the Throttle body with some cleaner and give it a run.
What I can guess:
- Having high oil pressure
- Injectors
- To little air on the engine
- Wear on the Engine
- Wear on the Transmission
To be honest I'm desperate at this point. I don't have much money to solve issues, I can buy the parts and do the job. I did not know a thing about cars last year, and I've been doing these out of just experience with almost no help from none one since I rely heavily on this car, I will check if the valve cover had a PCV Valve from factory just to check if that's the reason why the oil is getting into the Throttle body. Any help is appreciated
