Re: Yep im back
Not that I know of .. The previous owners had a loser work on it and he decided to screw around with everything on the car. I think they actually had new ground, and hot wires installed to the battery. and theres a mess of wires under my steering wheel that someone has been fooling with.

Re: Conclusion to My MX3
It'll still run but it'll smoke real bad (white smoke) and it also smokes down below the manifold and we found water in the oil so we're ruling it a head gasket. My dad told me it would be easy for him to change but I was thinking my tranny was going because, when I push the gas about to the floor (...
