Mustang feels like a V-Tech???

I just thought that this isnt normal, every time when the car is fairly cold, sometimes even when its warm. When I increase acceleration-Starts off normal then around 2300 or so very suddenly gets faster...If you ever rode in a honda v-tech, thats the same responce im getting from my car. Its pretty much stock as far as the ignition, intake and bottom end. I did have a problem with my distributor but i have changed the internals out cause it didnt run properly at all, it would bog at acceleration like it was running on 6 cylinders or something but I fixed that. But even from before that it always did what im talking about.

Now heres the kicker, im loosing oil somehow...Its not leaking it at all and there is no white smoke at all even on hard acceleration. The car now has 60k original miles guranteed. but every two/three weeks or so even if I dont drive it much, she is always low about half a quart.

Do you think one thing is related to the other? I was thinking that a valve would stick or cause blowby or something along those lines...I have replaced the pcv and the manifold filter/screen thinking it was leaking up through that but it seems to still loose the oil and still have the v-tech symtoms...I guess my next step would be to do a leak down test along with a compression test for the oil loosing part but how about the v-tech???
 
I'm wondering if one of the lower intake gaskets is leaking? There's oil down there. If there's a gasket leaking you'll notice oil consumption and deteriorated driveability.

anyone else thinking along the same lines?
 
You might want to find and fix that oil leak before or while you do that turbo swap. Running low on oil is not turbo friendly.

And no, I don't think that gaining significant torque beyond 2300 RPM is related to an oil leak. That's just how engines work.

Your absolutely right...I found it, it said it right there on the side-to return it to the original squid who signed up for it...Its right there in black and white on the side where just underneath the previous statement, stated: take me to my leader, the sacarstic f*@k of a poster...:nice:
 
drove the car today and it only does it when shes cold so im pretty certain that it it normal...I wont worry about it no longer.

I will change my 160 thermostat to a 180 and start my fan at around 185...That should help me further.
