I've been having ongoing issues and it is time to get to the bottom of it.
I've been experiencing what feels like a loss of power when accelerating. I'll be accelerating like normal and out of no where the car feels like it losses all power and no matter how far I push the pedal down, nothing happens. This happens in all gears, more noticeably 3rd and 5th. And then out of no where it'll surge and I'll have power back. After the car runs for a good 20-30 the problem seems to be less frequent.
The car through a CEL about 6 months ago and again today in reference to the a faulty MAF. I have cleaned it about a month ago, no change.
Currently that alone tells me that my MAF is going bad or is bad, but there is another bit to this.... I'm burning through 2 quarts of oil every 2500 miles or so. I am clueless as to where it is going, there are no leaks, no oil in my radiator and no more carbon built up than usual in my exhaust.
I know a bad MAF can do some crazy things, but would it cause me to burn through oil like this?
Any help would be much appreciated.
