when I first start the car the car wants to die but will stay running if you push the peddle to keep idle speed put in doing so smokes quite a bit. It is also quite difficult to start cold.
note: will stay running perfectly after driving a few yards.

Also when ever I get on it, it starts to start smoking at about 3-4k rpm.

On another note will the turbo fuel injectors that clarks-garage work in our cars?

What color is the smoke?

I believe it is white at startup and i think blacker when accelerating hard.

Sounds a lot like early stages of a bad head gasket. Hydrolocked from sitting blows the steam out for a few mins then runs ok but way rich cause the O2 sensor is hosed from the antifreeze. Sounds just like mine did anyway.

sorry to say this Llamaguy, but what was one of the first comments I made about this car.

What is your compression on all 4 cylinders? That's an important piece of information.

I haven't check the compression,, but my dad said the smoke was in fact black at start up

Hmm... well, I'd go ahead and test it anyway. At least you'd know for future reference and the test itself only takes 5 or 10 minutes.

do a compression test, and if your smoke is black that is too rich, meaning a bad tempII sensor probably
