Sounds like back pressure in engine , check engine breathing . May also be a partially blocked cat / exhaust

On most engine systems if you remove the oil cap the engine does change due to the set up on todays cars . Would have thought you would get fault codes if scanned with a decent scanner with TECH 2/3 capabilities or similar . If that year / model has a timing belt as opposed to a chain , could be worn , stretched , jumped teeth and be miles out throwing timing
