Just had an issue with my car. I was passing a car around 90mph changed to 5th no where near full throttle, and the car just felt down on power as I came to the next roundabout it developed a misfire, I limped home 4miles after a quick check of the basics and an ignition cycle,
Got home and used an app with blue tooth obd to get misfire cylinder 1&3 fault codes, I decided to pull the plugs 1(assuming left to right from the front of the car) looked a little lean, and 3 had oil on it, The air filter had also been filled with oil, I've noticed a smell of oil when sat in traffic before, it's also worth noting my mishimoto catch can had come loose of its bracket,
At this point in hopefull it's a dodgey pcv valve and or catch can, Tomorrow I will drop the oil and put the standard pipe back on to replace the mishi can, clean the MAF and see how it runs, There was no horrible turbo noises or engine noises heard, So im hopeful it's nothing major, but wanted your opinion on if pcvs are common or if there is anything else you think I should check?
edit: will try to get hold of a compression tester tomorrow too
