ok, well I went back yet again to the dealer. to see what has been done to the car since supposedly on Saturday I get it.. and Viola it is smoking again.. The car hadn't been driven all day.. So I turned it on and poof.. Tons of smoke out the back.. So I rev it a few times and it keeps goin.. then like 5 minutes later it stopped.. only a bit would come out when I would rev it.. so I decided to take it on a ghetto test drive.. I take it out and run around tha hood.. No smoke.. None.. only tire smoke mwuhahaahaha.. ok anyways... I got back and parked it and revved it and no smoke.. so I decide to shut it off and see what happens.. I wait a few minutes while talking to the non rotary mechanic there.. After about 5 or 10 minutes I go back and start her up and it smokes like hell again.. So I guess this means the oil control rings are bad huh?



Well here are the pics..

More of a question than an answer. If it was an oil control problem wouldn't it smoke all of the time. I would guess it's realy rich on start up (leaky injectors).

hmmmm Anyone else think it may be this? The mechanic said it was sent for emmisions testing and failed, he told me the technician said injector was fucked up? Could this be the problem..
