I dont feel like going to that link, but why did you adjust that screw anyhow?

else went wrong.



OK, I went to that link after all, turn the screw back to where it was,

hopefully you know where it was, and leave the car alone, a little smoke on s

start-up is normal, keep your eyes on the coolant level, and oil level. Our cars are no spring chickens, some smoke is to be expected, maybe take it a little easier on the car for now on.
I never adjusted the screw. I looked at it this past weekend for the first time - as I never knew where it was until someone pointed it out when we were taking parts off a gxl - and it was all the way on the R side.





The oil level and coolant level is just fine though. My Temp. has been raising up high lately, and i've been keeping a tab note on that.

Is it puffy white smoke or thick white/blueish smoke? And it stays like that all the time???
It white-ish from what i can see.

No it doesn't stay like that all the time - but moreso at start up, and a bit after warmup. Now, for the rich smell - it's like that ALL the time, i'm not sure if that's good or bad?

as long as you are not burning up all the coolant and oil in the engine you are good to go



if it starts running too hot pull out the thermostat
