Uh oh.

Okay, here is the situation.

Yesterday on my way to work I turned onto the road my place of work is on, and it was empty. So feeling a little frisky, I took off at around 30mph to 50mph.

As I looked in my rearview mirror I saw what I think to be smoke (i dont think the road could have been that dusty). Looked to be white smoke.

Car doesn't run funny or anything but I have had to add oil and coolant lately.

We think maybe valve seals. Right?
If it was rings it would be a lot worse all the time.

I haven't been able to get it to do this again.

Could it have hit the rev limiter? Does that sometimes with the new gears but I didn't feel it do it yesterday. Would that make smoke?

Help.

um...could be dust stirred up from the road...as long as there is no coolant in the oil...low oil...low coolant...i wouldnt be worried...maybe you just lit the tires up

BTW...what kinda milage do you get with the 3:73s?

 

[Kevin R.]

Haha, no trust me I didn't light em up. I think I'm pulling about the 150hp you used to be. Need to check my timing.

Well, never measured the milage, but I would have to say 8 on the highway, 10-14 city. My gas mileage blows. But i drive really fast everywhere.

Unless it happens all the time don't worry too much about it. I had a truck that used to blow smoke every few k miles from when it had 70k on the clock all the way until 120+ before it started to get worse.

you should probably get your car into a rebutable shop, and have them check it over...look what it did for me

I was gonna say a blown headgasket, but it would do it all the time. Did it backfire and sputter when you took off?
