I had already written a post about what was going on with teh car, but now there is a whole new problem...

http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.p...8&goto=newpost

as some of you may know, the car woulnt idle, and it was smoking blue.., and it wouldnt stop smokin either..

so i checked the oil, and it was over full, so i pushed it into the shop, and i drained the oil... well it was half oil and half gas...
I dont know how it happend but there was gas in the oil...

so i drained all of that, and i went down and got new oil and a new filter, and i put them on..

well it was the wrong filter, and when i tried to start the car, the filter shot off, and oil went everywhere. so after alot of cussing, i went back to the store with the old filter in hand and said i need another one of these. well they had discontinued them, so i asked for something that replaced it,

so with new filter in hand a 4 more quarts of synthetic, i went back to the car, and put all of it on, and checked everything 3 times over..

i turned the key, and vroom.. it started without me giving it any gas, and it idles.. but now it smokes white...

I havent been able to check the timing on it yet.. but the oil pressure guage, and the temp guage seemed to be working fine, and they seemed to stay pretty normal...

what would cause white smoke?
