Re: '90 Coupe Q. Blue Smoke, Help!
In a message dated 97-03-27 00:53:01 EST, you write:
<< I was idleing
for about 10 minutes before I actually got it inspected. When I got to
the booth where they slap the sticker on, the guy pointed out the blue
smoke eminating from my tailpipe, and then he paced I nice red failed
sticker on my windshield. When I got home, after driving at highway
speeds, the smoke was gone.
Question: What could be causing it?
Valves?
Piston rings? :-(
Is anything common for these cars?
It has 80k miles on it.
It looses about a quart of oil everything two thousand miles.
>>
I'd look for the simple stuff first, was the car on level
ground or inclined sharpley for those ten mins.
O'kay I guess I have to bring it up...
Sorry listers...
What "weight" ( I'm not gonna open it any further ) oil
aka: viscosity are you using is it possibly too thin for
your climate or at least too thin for the massive heat
that happens after idling for so long ?
