Alright... a friend of mine owns a 94 Dodge Stealth ES... essentially a 3000GT SL with dodge logos... for quite a while now he has had a very strange problem... when at a stop light... or even in park (its an automatic)... if you let the engine idle at its typical speed... about 700 RPM... you start getting oil smoke from the exaust.. if you let it sit about 8 seconds the smoke will be coming.. more then 2 seconds will ensure a puff of smoke at takeoff... so far.. his remedy is to hold the brake, and manually keep the engine at about 1100 RPM...
Recently the car started completely dieng after it started... it just wouldnt idle... after replacing numerous sensors, without any improvement he hopped online.. found out it was the ECU... and then, amazed his mechanic, by repairing the ECU by replacing a few parts of the board... i trust his skills in fixing this... and it fixed that problem.. but the smoe in the exaust persists... hes been told its the head gasket.. but 3 seperate mechanics have been unable to find a problem with it
