SO all was normal.
changed my water pump last month, ran great.
Was on my way home from work, went up a hill. Got to a stop light, and noticed a tiny bit of white smoke from the hood, and smelled hot oil. Nowhere to pull over, so i drove the 2 blocks to a parking lot. Fluid levels good, but some smoke from the oil dipstick tube. a little smoke from somewhere outside the tube aswell.
On the way to the lot, the truck had no power, and bogged down. temp was a little high, but not overly. needle barely moved.
Symptoms now:
-Starts and idles fine.
-drives fine for a few minutes. after that, rpms will stop at 1500 rpm, and bog down. no power, and rpms will not increase above this (maybe 50-100 sporadically) Pedal to the floor, rpms wont climb.
Things i've done:
-checked pcv valve. rattles, but moves freely.
-disconnected MAF connector. Vehicle dies if unplugged while idling. Started up unplugged, the engine WILL rev over 1500, but there is no appreciable power above 15-1700.
-my cat has been rattling for some time, months. didnt touch it, but made note.
Anyone have any ideas?
