Oil catch can?

[jrob56]

 

Assuming all hose connections are tight and there aren't any vacuum leaks or anything, and the fact that you had hesitation and loss of power, I'm thinking it's just a coincidence and has nothing to do with the catch can. It's likely a bad spark plug, bad fuel injector.....something within the engine itself that's affecting the combustion process.

 

 

 

There are a ton of us in here with catch cans of varying makes/models and none that I know of have had any CEL's as a result.

 

Agree, I dont see anyway a can would do that. I thought there was another thread with an issue like this, several people having spark plug wires coming loose at the coil. I would check all 8 at both ends.

Has to be something routed incorrectly or a vacuum leal. If you can post pictures of all your hoses and connections, and the most important is the drain valve being closed (if so equipped).

 

And yes, the Extreme Auto can like this is the cheap China made junk. Anyone with a welded one got one of the originals. These as soon as it freezes out I think we will see plenty popping the glued on bottom and tops off:

These are what RXspeedworks sells so beware!!

Nice! Amazing that these guys have a clear conscience selling crap like that, especially for the price. Have to say elite treats there customers well and has a solid product.

I don't see any evidence on my can that it is glued together at all. Guess I'll just see what happens as the bad weather nears

took to dealer, it was not believed to be related to the catch can...they said they could not find anything stored. Service tech said it could have been a bad fuel or some other small quick issue. I will continue to watch but all is well for now!- Thanks !

There are a lot of opportunities for air leks with a catch can. I was runing worm gear style clamps and noticed that it was distorted a little. Switched to a spring style/factory style clamp and I noticed I had a stronger brake pedal and my MPG went up. so couldn't pinpoint that I had a leak but it ran better when I made sure all fittings were secure/snug.

 

Any "false" air behind the MAF at all is a problem. EFI 101. Could cause all types of mild driveabilty issues. My truck actually ran stronger when I spring clamped all lines and made sure all catch can fitting were properly sealed. Running a cleanside breather and once I re-routed the factory stuff and plugged the ports on the factory inlet tube it ran noticeable better and the brake pedal was strong. which leads me to believe air can get in where you don't want it.

 

To the topic above, if your can leaks, you have an air leak. pretty simple.

kennerz is correct.

Been a while since I've seen that. Haven't driven much in the cold yet. Mine will fill up real fast ...

How many miles did it take to produce that?

3 months and 3,205 miles

 

A little longer than I normally go between draining

Getting back to air leaks....shouldn't you throw a code if the can's connections aren't fully sealed?

[Crf450r420]

If it is a hose and it bounces, it could only loose seal at certain moments on leak more at those moments. Just a thought. Most like that guy had other issues.

 

This week will finally be below 80 here so no more sweating. I'm sure will go back up though.

I guess technically. If you suck in enough unmetered air, some sort of code should be thrown. I've never had an issue tho. All my connections are with screw type clamps too. They are all tight.
