Hey all, I have a weird one. Driving the other day after a half hour ride on the highway (not getting on it just cruising at about 60 mph) i stopped for food. When I got back in and took off from the light my car had a sudden loss of power. It lasted about a second, I let off and reapplied the throttle and it went fine. Today however, the car did the same thing, but while idling at a stop sign, and totally died. It seems to only happen after about 20 minutes of driving.
I do have a Dizzy e30 tune, whoosh v1 intercooler, and whoosh v1 downpipe and MBRP exhaust, as well as a Ramair drop in filter. I did get smart and data logged when it happened today. It shows significant negative ignition correction on only cylinder 2. 1, 3 and 4 show <1 degree but cyl 2 shows -2.5 degrees at the same time. I’ll do the basics and pull my spark plugs, check my filter and MAF sensor, but I’m afraid that since it’s only when warm that it could be something more serious like a head gasket losing compression when heated up. I do not have a compression tester rn though.
