help me out i jus got back from michigan and i let my freind watch my car and couple days after i left he called me and told me my car won't start. so i come bac and i get it towed in the garage and 2 of the bottom plugs r dry and the top 2 are wet and they r brand new plugs. i take them back and get brand new ones and it starts right up but it still smokes real bad its a real white color smoke.

could a coolant plate be cracked or gasket

Shane.Trammell 06-23-2004 03:42 PM

yeah that could be it. is it using coolant?

bdrx-7 06-23-2004 03:44 PM

its using more oil but like when i first start it up it doesn't smoke and then when i let it warm up it starts 2 smoke but no it isn't using coolant much

yeah I'm having the same problem. it started for me after i put on the 3" exhaust. Would oil leaking from or into the turbo cause this?

rotary632 06-24-2004 06:57 PM

P.S. where are the oil control rings? I'm new to these turbo motors

Inside the engine, on the sides of the rotors.
