NOW the car is bringing black smoke and then it ends with a white smoke and its draining oil everytime i look on the oil scale it becomes less and it just makes that when the rpm is on 5 or more and when the a/c is working it moves too slow can somebody help me and my car cause i love that car so much Post #: 1

It could be bad and telling the engine it's real cold out . Is the ck engine light on? (in reply to saiofa666) Post #: 9

Could be a number of things, worn piston rings, worn valve guide seals. Might be that the engine needs some TLC and a good overall. Good Luck, Brant (in reply to gadgetman) Post #: 10
