Before I take it in to the dealer... (power loss/noise)
95% of the time my car is fine. (2005 GT)
When I have power loss, I get a knocking sound higher than 6K RPM.
I tend to get the power loss more often during hotter days. (25C+)
Can fuel starvation from an overheating fuel pump cause that sound?
I recent have changed out coils/wires/plugs.
Should I try getting the fuel pump replaced first or straight off ask for a compression test.
Thanks

i can say i have a bit of knowledge with this..
what you describe is more like dry apex seals..
the reason i asked about the last recall was they tend to do a vacuum test..
if you are still under warranty. and this is covered by the 8 year 100k mile one in the usa.. i think it is the same in canada, eh.
take to the dealer, say the car has a loss of power. that likely will get you a vacuum test and a compression test. if it fails, and it likely will with what you describe.
you get a carbon cleaning and retest.. that might fix the issue..
if not new motor time..
btw, if under warranty dont let them try the diagnostic fee crap..
