So I don't know if anyone else has experienced similar results, but has anyone had any bad experiences from an OCC? I installed mine and it didn't work out so well. Here is a list of the after effects...
-irratic idle (varied and would not settle down. Usually idled high)
-butt Dino perceived loss of power AND overall driveability. Something felt off...
-loss of fuel mileage
-and then the kicker...she threw a code P0507 Intake Air Circulation High (unmetered air, in the dealers words).
-CEL/code would not go away, even with a 30 min battery disconnect
I had an appointment at the dealer for some other stuff, so I decided to yank the OCC. within 4 miles of disconnecting the OCC, the CEL went out and the code cleared. Also, all the other bad symptoms have cleared and the car drives great. Just finished a road trip for the holiday with great driving car.
The OCC was installed and connected for just over 300 miles with all of these symptoms present the whole time.
The OCC was a very quality kit and I really have no idea how it could be installed wrong. It is a PVC type OCC. My only stretch at a guess as to what could cause this was the mounting location. It was a frame mount that didn't require the sound symposer to be removed. Makes me wonder if the distance from the intake to the can was the culprit of these symptoms??? The can was working as after 300 miles, there was a few ounces of oil in the can.
All I can say is that it was hooked up right.
Any thoughts? Any thoughts about my theory on the length of the hose/distance to the can?
