[jaredmorrison]

i haver a 87 msutang lx 5.0. Last night on my way home it started pushing blue smoke and the car wouldnt idle for very long untill it quit. i had taken out all the spark plugs and they were all dry so it couldnt have been an oil leak. can someone please help me!!!

Is it possible your car is running rich. Or if the smoke was white your head gasket could be bad.

Im not sure what to think, but I think you came to the right forum, welcome! Im sure you'll get some good advice here.

Jared, the '87's were speed density metered. Are you sure it was blue and not dark grey / black? Check the vacuum hose from the upper intake to the MAP sensor on the center of the cowl. When they crack the map sensor loses vacuum and the puter thinks you are at a high load condition and will add too much fuel for idling.

Jamie is right on, as usual. have you tried to pull codes yet? you will need a test light or VOM to do with a SD car.

good luck.
