When do you think the 4.1 gets tired?

I have 184k on mine now. It sems to be getting a little slugish. I drive it pretty hard. Think it's that time?

I doubt it. I have never seen a tired one, but Q45tech has seen more of them.

Hmmm, maybe a throttle body cleaning is due.

Tired is usually defined as compression below limits and clouds of blue smoke [beyond a minute or 2 after cold start].

I don't recall EVER seeing a Q that was smoking while being driven (unlike the dozen or so Mitsubishi/Chrysler smokers I see ever day! ).

Maybe we should start a contest to find and photograph the first one!

Dang, I shoulda taken a video of my '92 smoking Q. It was a bad injector o-ring that was making one cylinder run WAY rich. Luckily got it fixed quickly. My other Q, which is now a parts car, would smoke quite a bit on startup and would puff just a bit right when it was given a little gas after idling for a while. It had 200,000+ miles when I parked it and the previous owner followed a 20-30K mile oil change schedule.
