Okay, there's a lot that went on today. While I was sitting in the cold A/C on my lunch break, I heard a weird sucking noise coming from my car. I immediately opened the hood and found that the noise was emanating from the entrance of the intake. Bear in mind that I have installed a 2J cowl intake with an Outerwears waterproof cover, proper fitting hose instead of heater hose for the PCV hookup, and all the jazz for a proper install. Anyways, I tried feeling around for a crack in the intake pipe, loose junction near the turbo inlet, excessive water in the cowl, and there was nothing weird being visible to me.
A couple hours later when it was time for me to drive home, I heard the sucking noise again. On a whim, I revved the car to 2500 RPM and the noise went away with no fuss. Five minutes into driving and the vehicle completely shuts off on me while driving. I pull over to start it back up and it ran REALLY rough as if it was misfiring. No CEL codes and nothing weird popped up on my AP. Turned it off and on again and it ran fine. I only gas up at populated gas stations with 93, so I don't think it's bad gas.
I was greeted by a fellow car enthusiast who happened to be a highway patrolman that helped me tow it to my house to break it down and see what went wrong. However, that left more questions than answers. I live in a really humid environment and I did notice moisture on the oil cap but not on the dipstick. I took the whole cowl off to see in the intake and it was clean and dry.
I'm semi knowledgeable on these things but I don't have that fancy Autel MaxiSys to see exactly what's going on. I'm thinking it's a random fouled plug, bad coil, blowby from an unknown preexisting condition, etc. Any knowledge from a grease hand is helpful at this point since it's my daily.
