First thing that started happening was it started blowing smoke out the back and it was burning oil very quickly. Figured 'blown head gasket' but that doesn't seem to be the problem. It was also running strange and would die at stops lights if I didn't keep my foot on the gas. Re-set the idle, and it didn't seem to be the problem either. Then it starts running at around 4 thousand rpms at stop lights instead instead of conking out. Rechecked the idle and it was fine, set where it should be.
Then for a few days, it runs like a dream, then it starts acting funny again, then it starts running like a dream again. Then finally it fills a major interstate with smoke and I decide to park it before I get someone killed.
Tried driving around back streets a few days later, it runs fine, not billowing smoke, no problems with the idle.
Until it heats up.
Friends say it could possibly be a computer malfunction, and nothing more. Anyone else have or heard of these problems?
