The vehicle has started acting differently from when i bought it. It has a tendency of sometimes losing power. It settles at 2000 rpm, and begins to smoke a lot. But it doesn't do that all the time. It also consumes an excessive amount of oil, about a quart every 7 to 12 days. It is basically new with only 60,000 miles but it does experience severe driving conditions because I live in Puerto Rico and their are a lot of hills and rises that it has to overcome. What could be the cause for the loss of power and the smoking?
If the engine mechanically is good ---no knocking or piton-slapping noises--chances are your engine breather system is plugged up.----possibly plugged up in the valve cover---the tube or hole where the PCV valve is located in the valve cover. check the PCV valve too --when you sake it you should hear it rattle.
To check the valve cover without taking it off --remove the PCV valve and with a piece of hose inserted in it's place inthe valve cover try blowing thru it---( with engine off ) if you can not then remove the valve cover and manually unplug the blockage.
Testimonial: "Thank you for your help. Let's just hope that this solves my problem."

Car
not starting or turning over indicates towards multiple possibilities. It can
be issue with battery or weak battery. But if battery checks out ok, then it
can be starter issue or faulty alternator or problem with low fuel pressure or
no spark at spark plugs due to dirty spark plugs or faulty ignition
coil or injectors getting cracked or dirty and needs to be cleaned.
To
confirm the problem, the basic troubleshooting is required.
