i d k i watched my car pull timing when i step on the gas....im not sure why it seems like trac control is comming on but it wont go....and it usally happens when the ac is on but soemtimes when it is off as well. Also i can feel pressure come out of where you put the oil cap on and was wondering if maybe its my pcv valve thast needs replacing any help would be great...


Thanx Charles

Dunno about the symptoms, our cars dont have PCV valves, they have air oil separators. As about the pressure where the the oil cap is at is normal, the timing components are below it, the chain is spinning.

No kidding it is going to retarted timing when you step on it. That is a good thing,
It does this to prevent detonation.
