the new-er car i got, burns oil and seems to be burning coolant as well.. but im not 100% sure about the coolant.. sincei cant smell any "sweet" smells.
anyways.. the thing is.. i just put my coilovers on and went for a drive around my neighborhood roads..
first time, i accel'ed to ~40-50 in 3rd and the car felt like it was just pulling back for some reason. i could press the gas and it'd do nothing.. like the throttle wasn't there then the idle just dropped around 200-400 fluctuating, but didnt shut off. i let it idle for a bit.. then drove back.
went past my house on an uphill, put the car in neutral and coasted.
this time, the idle dropped to 200-400 fluctuating and the car just shut off... after i re-started the car, it was fine..
i'm just wondering as to wtf this could possibly be? i know none of my vaccum lines are messed up, nor the sensors being fouled, since it ran very well the day i bought it.
i did seafoam the crank, gas, and thru the brake booster.
oddly, crank = smoked. (for awhile....?) brake booster = of course, did smoke. gas = i need to go fill up... faulty gauge cluster.
anyone have a clue to whats wrong with my engine? it seems like its on its way out with the bad valve seals letting the oil burn up....
this is all on a NA KA24DE
any help would be appreciated.
