I am not a mechanic, but talking with others, the theory is there is a possibility that with the intake being held completely open that it could cause backpressure in the intake starving the number 3 and 1 cylinders from fuel, which would mean that the engine was basically running on the left bank of cylinders which would cause considerable loss of power. Note: this is a theory so if any of you have a better one please speak up.
